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.

Exelon Chooses Illinois Nuke Site
LCG, April 30, 2002--Exelon Generation announced today that it will apply for an early nuclear site permit. The company is considering Clinton nuclear power station, located in De Witt County, Illinois, as a possible site for new nuclear generation, although Exelon has not announced any particulars with regard to type of generator. The site was initially planned to accommodate two reactors but only has one, which provides 950 MW capacity. Exelon had already announced that it planned to apply for a nuclear power station permit, but until today the company had not discussed the location of the prospective plant. An early site permit will allow the option of constructing for up to 20 years without detailing the type of reactor. The application will require 18 to 30 months to review and approve. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will receive the application and assess safety, environmental factors, and emergency preparedness of the potential site according to new and as yet untried guidelines. Exelon owns and operates seventeen nuclear reactors nationwide and has recently exited an international group developing pebble bed modular reators.
