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.

FPL Begins Construction on Solar Project
LCG, February 27, 2009--Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) yesterday announced the groundbreaking for its DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center, which will provide 25 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) power to FPL's customers in Florida. The company states that the project will be the largest solar PV facility in the nation when it is complete at the end of 2009.
The DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center will utilize 180 acres of land in DeSoto County, Florida. The facility will include 90,000 Sunpower PV panels with the SunPower® Tracker technology, which provides for the panels to follow the sun throughout the day and increase the solar energy converted to power.
FPL is now pursuing three solar projects in Florida, all of which were approved by the Florida Public Service Commission last July. In addition to the DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center, a 10-MW, PV project that uses the Sunpower panels and SunPower® Tracker technology will be constructed at the Kennedy Space Center.
FPL's third solar project is the Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center, which will be built at FPL's existing Martin Plant site, which includes natural gas-fired, combined cycle electric generating facilities. The project incorporates a design that will, when solar power is available, use energy from the sun to generate steam as a substitute for burning natural gas in a combined-cycle steam turbine system. The solar project will include approximately 180,000 mirrors spread over 500 acres. The project will provide for as much as 75 MW of solar power and is expected to be the first such hybrid system in the world.
