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.

Texas Genco Awarded DOE Grant for Coal Plant Emissions Project
LCG, October 29, 2004--Yesterday the Department of Energy (DOE) announced the final project selected to receive a grant from Round Two of the 2002 Clean Coal Power Initiative. Texas Genco will receive $6.1 million grant in support of a $12.2 million project to reduce emissions at an existing coal plant.The project will focus on reducing mercury emissions through the use of advanced control processes and sensor technologies to optimize mercury speciation and control at the existing Limestone Electric Generating Station. The plant will use a blend of Texas lignite and Powder River Basin (PRB) subbituminous coal.The grant is part of President Bush's 2002 Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) to invest $2 billion over 10 years to advance technologies to help meet the country's growing demand for electricity.The DOE announced similar grants this month in support of other advanced coal technology projects. Excelsior Energy, Inc. and ConocoPhillips will receive a $38 million grant for the development of a new, 531-MW, integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant to be located near Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota. Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) and Southern Power, the unregulated subsidiary of Southern Company, will receive a $235 million grant for the development of a 285-MW, advanced coal plant to be built at OUC's existing Stanton Energy Center near Orlando, Florida. Peabody Energy will receive a $19.7 million grant to demonstrate a technology to achieve ultra-low emissions at the proposed 300-MW, Mustang Energy Project located near Peabody's Lee Ranch Coal Company operations in New Mexico.
