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.

Edison International Unit Buys Texaco Power Project
LCG, Nov. 22, 2000--Edison Mission Energy said yesterday it had purchased from Texaco Power and Gasification for an undisclosed sum the rights to the Sunrise Power Project, a proposed power plant to be located in Kern County, Calif.The facility will be constructed in two phases, with a 320 megawatt natural gas-fired simple-cycle peaking plant scheduled to be in service next summer. During the second phase, which will take another two years, the plant will be converted to combined-cycle operation and its output boosted to 560 megawatts.John E. Bryson, chairman and chief executive of parent company Edison International Inc. said "After months of negotiations, we have finalized an agreement on a critical new project that will bring asignificant amount of new peaking power to the state as soon as next August -- a time when it will besorely needed."Edison said it hopes to have approvals in hand in time to begin construction by December 7, a date that already lives in infamy for another reason but there's no reason not to add one more.Edison said final regulatory approvals should be received "shortly" for the first phase, but a decision by the California Energy Commission may not be that imminent. The agency has scheduled hearings on December 4 and 6 in Sacramento on the "revised presiding member's proposed decision" for Sunrise. It will also be an evidentiary hearing with the public invited.The commission ought to be getting close, however. It has been thinking about Sunrise for two years.
