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.

Largest Solar Facility in San Francisco Bay Area Starts Up
LCG, Dec. 8, 2000--GPU Solar Inc. said it had a grand celebration yesterday for the dedication of the San Francisco Bay Area's largest solar power facility. More than 150 dignitaries were invited to tour the plant and witness the start-up of the 100 kilowatt facility.They had to listen to speeches, too.GPU Solar, a joint venture between GPU Inc. and Astro Power Inc., is developer, owner and operator of the Green Mountain Solar - Berkeley plant, which is located on the roof of the Power Light Corp. manufacturing plant in Berkeley. Power Light provided engineering, procurement and construction services for the project.Power from the facility will be transmitted on wires owned by Pacific Gas & Electric Co., where it will probably get mixed up with electricity generated from natural gas and nuclear plants. But it will be bought off those wires by customers of Green Mountain Co., the outfit that sells power generated by renewable resources.Fred Hafer, chief executive of GPU Inc., said "By using advanced technologies to provide safe, clean renewable energy we are making a valuable contribution to improving our environment. This power project is a continuation of our efforts to tap renewable energy resources to meet customer demand."Astro Power made the photovoltaic cells for the plant, and they are spread out in an 11,500 square-foot array. At that rate, it would take 1.7 square miles to produce 500 megawatts.
