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.

Florida PSC Approves Agreement for New Biomass Plant in Florida
LCG, August 17, 2006--The Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) approved on Tuesday a petition for Progress Energy Florida (Progress) to buy energy produced by the Florida Biomass Energy Group, LLC (Florida Biomass) at a proposed 116-MW biomass plant located near Lake Okeechobee. The plant is scheduled to commence operations no later than December 2009.
The Florida PSC recently certified Florida Biomass as a qualifying facility (QF) based on the exclusive use of renewable energy, after start-up, for the proposed electric generation.
The renewable fuel for the proposed plant is a bamboo-like grass known as E-grass. The energy crop would be harvested at the 15,000 acre site and processed into a liquid fuel using a pyrolysis process. The plant will use combustion turbine-combined cycle technology, and the thermal fuel input will include combustible exhaust gases from the pyrolysis process.
When the negotiated contract was compared to a gas-fired, combined cycle alternative, Progress estimated the capacity and energy payments over the 25-year term of the negotiated contract would produce a savings of $39 million net present value to Progress's ratepayers. The majority of such savings are based on fuel costs.
