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.

Arizona Biomass Project Nears Commercial Operations
LCG, May 15, 2008--Renegy Holdings, Inc. (Renegy) yesterday issued an update on its business activities for the first quarter of 2008. A key accomplishment is completing a 24-MW, power project located near Snowflake, Arizona that uses biomass as fuel. Renegy has 20-year, power-purchase agreements (PPAs) for the project with Arizona Public Service Company (APS) and Salt River Project (SRP).
The new electric generating facility is adjacent to a recycled newsprint mill operated by Catalyst Paper Corporation, which provides recycled paper fibers to fuel the plant. This fuel supply is supplemented by wood wastes and residues from nearby forests and other sources. The plant includes a new Babcock and Wilcox bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) boiler designed to meet the targeted fuels for use at the plant.
The Snowflake facility was synchronized to the grid on April 24, and full generating power has since been achieved. Various tests remain to be completed, including emissions, boiler performance and final certification. Renegy anticipates the facility to commercial operations prior to June 30, 2008.
Renegy, headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, is a renewable energy company focused on acquiring, developing and operating a growing portfolio of biomass power generation facilities. As stated by its CEO, "Our focus in 2008 is on building our core business and positioning ourselves to capitalize on the growing market opportunities for renewable energy."
