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.

PG&E, SoCal Ed Fight CPUC over Rate Cases
LCG, Nov. 29, 2001--The California Public Utilities Commission will discuss at its meeting today whether there are "good reasons" that Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and Southern California Edison Co. should not be fined for failure to prepare general rate cases projecting electricity and natural gas prices for the year 2003.The CPUC had directed the two utilities to file the preliminary paperwork last month. Neither company has done so and each faces penalties that could amount to as much as $20,000 per day. The utilities complained that the regulators gave them insufficient time and that the unsettled energy market makes it difficult to predict whether prices will be raised or lowered.Gordon Smith, chief executive of PG&E said in a letter to the CPUC that it would take at least six months to prepare a general rate case and the agency has allowed it only 20 days. "It seems incongruous and an inefficient use of resources to process a full-blown general rate case without knowing how the bankruptcy will be resolved," Smith wrote.SoCal Ed said the uncertainty of the market made preparation of a rate case difficult, but thought it could get the preliminary paperwork together by the middle of next month. John Fielder, the utility's vice president for regulatory affairs, said his company was prepared to tell the CPUC why it was "entirely appropriate to delay filing the first step in the rate case."Commissioner Jeff Brown, a member of the CPUC, said the agency will decide today whether "there are good reasons for the non-production of the rate cases."
