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.

Proposed Coal Plant in Montana Deferred
LCG, December February 4, 2009--Southern Montana Electric (SME)announced Monday that it will defer the development of the 250-MW, Highwood Generating Station. The coal-fired project was planned to have been built near Great Falls.
SME now plans to install a 120-MW, gas-fired electric generating facility, together with over 6 MW of generating capacity driven by wind power. The initial, 80-MW phase of the gas-fired facility is scheduled to be operational toward the end of 2011, with an additional 40-MW of capacity coming on-line within the next 12 months.
SME's deferral of the coal-fired power plant resulted from a variety of factors, including: legal challenges, regulatory uncertainty with respect to carbon emissions and related global warming concerns, and hurdles associated with financing the project, which has grown to an estimated cost of $900 million.
