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.

Duke Proposes Settlement with Carolinas Over Regulated Profits
LCG, Oct. 25, 2002--Profits earned by Duke Energy Corp. through its regulated operations were understated to regulators by $123.6 million from 1998 through 2000, according to a report by auditor Grant Thornton LLP.According to the auditor, Duke represented its rate of return to the North Carolina Utilities Commission and the South Carolina Public Service Commission (PSC) as lower than that it reported in financial statements to the investment community or the Securities and Exchange Commission. The report, for which information was sought beginning in January, found that accounting entries which lowered pretax operating income were "contrary to applicable accounting practices, industry practices and Duke's past practices."Duke has said that Grant Thornton's analysis of accounting adjustments and changes "inappropriately characterizes the business process followed, the accounting decisions made and the intent of our employees." It has said that even if accounting entires cited in the report are taken into consideration, the company's rate of return was not far different from that allowed by North Carolina.Duke has proposed a settlement with the public utility commissions of North Carolina and South Carolina, including a $19 million charge for the fourth quarter. The proposal will be considered early next week by the two state commissions.
