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.

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.

Republicans Finish Energy Bill Negotiations
LCG, Nov. 14, 2003--Difficult and protracted negotiations on a comprehensive energy bill are essentially over, according to Republican Senate and House chairmen of the committees that led them.The announcement was made today by Sen. Pet Domenici of New Mexico and Rep. Billy Tauzin of Louisiana. Included in the bill are tax credits for ethanol and for nuclear and coal power producers, as well as aid for specific local projects. The bill did not include provisions for drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, although White House Spokesman Scott McClellan said the administration feels that such projects "should be part of a comprehensive energy plan."Democrats will now review details of the plan, which are scheduled to be posted tomorrow at noon on the website http://energy.senate.gov/ and http://energycommerce.house.gov/. Sen. Charles E. Schumer of New York, a Democrat, voiced strong objections to what he called a "grab bag of goodies for special interests," and said the bill "should be stopped in whatever way possible and I will be checking with my colleagues to see if we have the support to do so," although substantial changes are unlikely.Mr. Tauzin said the package, the completion of which has been sought by Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham, "is going to make a difference in American families' lives."
