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.

Midwest ISO Releases Draft Tariff
LCG, June 23, 2003--A set of draft tariff and market rules governing day-ahead and real-time energy markets, called the Open Access Transmission and Energy Markets Tariff, has been released by the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator.The rules were revised based on responses from ISO members and interested parties, following a technical conference held in May, and are being made subject to further comment. In addition, a sample allocation for financial transmission rights has been made public. The allocation was determined by using a network data model, incorporating generating resources and load. The Midwest ISO is asking for input on the system for allocation.According to James P. Torgerson, president and chief executive officer of the ISO, "Defining the tariff langugage necessary to provide a solid blueprint for market operations, developing a network data model and producing initial financial transmission rights allocations are key components of our overall plan for ensuring a smooth market opening." The ISO intends to make an informational filing with FERC by August 1. "We are committed to honoring existing contracts and service arrangements consistent with federal and state policy," Torgerson said.A guide to the Midwest Market Initiative is posted at www.midwestmarket.org.
