		| 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.

    Georgia Power Announces New Agreement to Receive Wind Power from Oklahoma
  LCG, April 23, 2013--Georgia Power, a Southern Company subsidiary, announced yesterday that it entered into a 250-MW power purchase agreement (PPA) with EDP Renewables North America.  The agreement provides for wind power generated from EDP's wind farms in southwest Oklahoma.  The wind power is scheduled to commence delivery to Georgia Power on January 1, 2016.
 "We are continuously evaluating energy options that provide the best overall economic value to our customers," said Paul Bowers, president and CEO of Georgia Power. "Adding wind energy to our generation mix underscores our commitment to a diverse portfolio that offers clean, safe, reliable, sustainable and low-cost electricity for years to come."
 
 Georgia Power's affiliate, Alabama Power, previously executed a 20-year, PPA with TradeWind Energy for wind power from the 235-MW Chisholm View Wind Project in Oklahoma.  That project was one of the first major wind projects to export power to the Southeast, and Alabama Power is now receiving power from the wind farm.
