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.

RGGI CO2 Auction Price Exceeds $3/ton
LCG, September 30, 2008--The ten, northeast states participating in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) yesterday announced that the auction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions allowances held on September 25, 2008 were sold at a clearing price of $3.07 per allowance. All of the 12,565,387 allowances offered for sale were sold.
The ten states participating in RGGI, a cap-and-trade program designed to reduce greenhouse gases, are Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. The RGGI program goals include CO2 emissions held to a capped target through 2014, after which the cap is reduced by 2.5 percent annually through 2018 to achieve a 10 percent reduction in CO2 emissions.
Proceeds from the auction totaled over $38 million, which will be shared by the six states - Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont - participating in the initial auction. These states plan to use the funds for energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies to benefit energy consumers.
Another CO2 allowance auction is scheduled to occur on December 17, 2008. RGGI plans quarterly auctions during the first three-year compliance period, which runs from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2011.
