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.

PUC Staff Make Proposal for Texas Balancing Market
LCG, Mar. 19, 2003--A plan for preventing price spikes in the balancing energy market within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has been put forth by staff with the Public Utility Commission (PUC) of Texas.The proposal is a reaction to price spikes that occurred in late February, when the balancing market priced Up Balancing Energy Service at $990/MWh, just below the $1,000 price cap. A more complicated plan addressing price spikes has been in development by the PUC's Market Oversight Division and ERCOT for about six months.The new proposal would come into play when all power offered in the balancing market was to be bought by ERCOT, the grid operator. In such situations, sellers would be informed that prices would probably be reduced at a later date. The reduction would be calculated as if ERCOT had bought only 90% of the amount of energy actually used. The Market Oversight Division will continue to look at ways to address spikes, but has recommended the new proposal to commissioners while it does so.
