NextEra Energy and Google Collaborate on Accelerating Nuclear Power Deployment

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.

Press Release

Workshop on Valuing Congestion Revenue Rights in the California MRTU



For immediate release. LCG Consulting will host a workshop covering methodologies for valuing Congestion Revenue Rights (CRR) in the Californian electricity market.

Date: September 9, 2009
Venue: Stanford University

The Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade (MRTU) launched by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) on March 31, 2009 brought comprehensive changes in the way power markets are operated in California. Wholesale power is now offered at thousands of locations throughout the CAISO network, presenting participants with a new set of opportunities in conjunction with associated risks.

The key financial product with which market participants can arm themselves in this locational marketplace is the Congestion Revenue Right (CRR). CRRs can be used to protect existing positions and to create new opportunities.

Because there is very little history behind this product, the level of sophistication needed to effectively manage CRRs in these markets is lacking. This workshop will facilitate a discussion between market participants on this topic and cover some advanced techniques for effective CRR valuation.
