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.

Buena Vista Wind Project Delivers Power to PG&E
LCG, January 11, 2007--Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) announced yesterday that it is receiving power from the Buena Vista Energy, LLC Wind Project located in the Altamont pass area east of San Francisco, California.
The Buena Vista Energy, LLC Wind Project, has a capacity of 38 MW and was developed by Babcock & Brown's North America Infrastructure Group. The project includes 38, one-megawatt turbines made by Mitsubishi Power Systems.
In April 2005, PG&E submitted the long-term power purchase agreement associated with the project to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for regulatory review.
The State of California's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Program, which is managed by the CPUC and the California Energy Commission, requires each utility to increase its procurement of eligible renewable generating resources by 1% of load per year to achieve a 20% renewables goal. PG&E states that it currently provides over 13% of its energy from renewable resources that qualify under California's RPS Program.
