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.

Last week, Horizon Wind Energy ordered 242 of the V82-1.65MW wind turbines, with delivery to start by year end. RES Americas also ordered 33 units of the V90-3.0 MW wind turbines to be used at the Central Plains Wind Farm in western Kansas. Delivery is planned for latter half of this year.
