LCG, October 28, 2025--NextEra Energy and Google yesterday announced two agreements that will help meet growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) with clean, reliable, 24/7 nuclear power and strengthen the nation's nuclear leadership. First, Google signed a new, 25-year agreement for power generated at the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Iowa's only nuclear power facility. The 601-MW boiling water reactor unit was shut down in 2020 and is expected to commence operations by the first quarter of 2029, pending regulatory approvals to restart the plant.

LCG, October 23, 2025--Google announced today a first-of-its kind agreement to support a natural gas-fired power plant with carbon capture and storage (CCS). The 400-MW Broadwing Energy power project, located in Decatur, Illinois, will capture and permanently store its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. By agreeing to buy most of the power it generates, Google is helping get this new, baseload power source built and connected to the regional grid that supports our data centers.

Washington Plant Nearly Operational
LCG, May 23, 2002--A new power plant southeast of Tacoma, Wash., with a capacity of 249 megawatts, is scheduled to become operational on July 1, according to Frederickson Power.Initially, the gas-fired combustion turbine plant will only supply 125 megawatts, due to the very low wholesale power prices prevailing in the Northwest ($22/MWh on Tuesday). The owner, Epcor Power Development Corp., believes it would lose money if it were to make the entire capacity available. The 125 megawatts will be sold to public utilities in Grays Harbor, Benton and Franklin counties.The plant site has room for an additional plant of equal size, but Epcor has no plans for at least the next year to build one. Approximately one-third of about 90 proposed plants in the Northwest have been cancelled or put on hold. Of Epcor's inability to find a buyer for the plant's entire output, Chris Heffring, president of Epcor Power said, "Prices are low now. We hope they come back up."
