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.

Pickering A Outage May Last Longer Than Expected
LCG, Oct. 28, 2001--Repairs to a nuclear plant in Ontario, Ontario Power Generation's (OPG) Pickering A, may require more time than expected, "as a result of construction challenges encountered in the refurbishment of certain systems," according to the utility.Four Pickering A units have been scheduled to be returned to service one at a time, and will provide 2,060 megawatts to the grid once repairs are completed. OPG, which is owned by the provincial government, stated in a release that it expected to return its first unit to operation by the end of the first quarter of 2003.The costs to bring the first unit back online will determine the likely costs to be incurred on the remaining units. The increase in the cost on the first unit have been C$230 million ($148 million US). Some observers believe that the process of alleviating safety and reliability concerns will last through 2006.
