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.

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.

Duke Expects Higher Costs for New Coal-fired Units at Cliffside
LCG, October 27, 2006--Duke Energy announced yesterday that it anticipates the cost to add two, 800-MW coal units at Cliffside Steam Station to exceed the $2 billion previously estimated. The first unit is scheduled to commence operations in 2011.
The estimated degree of cost increases was sufficient enough such that Duke decided to file the increases with the North Carolina Utilities Commission on a confidential basis. The cost increases are based on bids that represent about 20 percent of the construction costs.
Duke filed its application in May 2005 for a ?Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity? (CPCN) application with the North Carolina Utilities Commission to expand and upgrade the Cliffside Steam Station, located in Rutherford and Cleveland counties, North Carolina.
