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.

Calvert Cliffs Sets a Personal Best in 2000
LCG, Jan. 17, 2001The Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant belonging to a sister company of Baltimore Gas & Electric Co. said yesterday that the year 2000 was the best ever in a lot of ways.Not the least was the relicensing of the plant by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which added 20 years to the lives of its two 850 megawatt reactors. The license of Unit 1 was extended from 2014 to 2034 while that of Unit 2 was extended from 2016 to 2036.Operationally, 2000 was a banner year in that Unit 1 turned in an 89 percent capacity factor despite a shutdown for refueling. Unit 2 turned in a capacity factor of 100 percent, meaning it put out every kilowatt-hour of electricity its design will permit."Our outstanding 2000 performance proves the value of our investments in our people and in ourplant," said Charlie Cruse, vice president-nuclear energy for plant operator Constellation Nuclear. "The hard work and dedication of the Calvert Cliffs team paid off not only with record-setting results, but it also helped us earn the first renewed operating license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission."
