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.

PJM, French Grid Operator to Swap Knowledge
LCG, Jan. 23, 2001Two of the world's largest electric power transmission operators, the PJM Interconnection Association and the manager of the French national grid, agreed this morning to share technical knowledge and information to help address mutual goals of power systems and energy market operations.Le Gestionnaire du Rseau de Transport de l'lectricit (RTE), a unit of French power monopoly Electricit de France, is responsible for operation of the French national grid, which serves more than 30 million customers. PJM operates the world's largest competitive wholesale electricity market and North America's largest power grid.Andre Merlin, appointed by the French Ministry of Energy as director of RTE, said "RTE has 50 years of experience in operating the largest control area in the world and PJM is one of the most successful ISOs, operating different kinds of markets in a deregulated environment. We will learn from each other."The agreement between PJM and RTE has three objectives, the American agency said.- To achieve a rational, safe, and expeditious transition to more competitive electric environments by cooperating on technical innovation, best practices, lessons learned, and the development of systems to operate competitive markets.
- To combine the knowledge of the two large, multi-state integrated power systems to foster a competitive electric environment.
- To determine the best practices available to provide efficient and convenient interfaces to market participants.
Phillip G. Harris, PJM's president and chief executive, said "We hope to leverage our collective technical experiences to create the model to power both systems in the twenty-first century."PJM said a liaison committee, consisting of senior management representatives from both organizations, will be formed to develop a plan for achieving these goals and oversight of the plan. PJM and RTE plan to conduct employee exchanges and open discussions on making use of the Internet, communications, and other high-tech things.
