LCG, October 14, 2026--American Electric Power (AEP) today announced plans for a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Google, under which AEP will invest approximately $4 billion to advance a new 702-MW fuel cell generation project located near Cheyenne, Wyoming. Google will acquire power from Cheyenne Fuel Cell, LLC, which is approximately 92 percent owned and controlled by AEP and 8 percent owned by funds advised by Basalt Infrastructure Partners, LLP. AEP and its partners plan to start construction this year and to be fully operational by the end of 2028.

NRC to Issue License to Construct Two New Reactors iat Turkey Point in Florida
LCG, April 11, 2018--The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recently announced that it will issue licenses allowing Florida Power and Light (FPL) to proceed with construction and operation of two AP1000 reactors at the Turkey Point nuclear generating station. The Turkey Point power generation complex is located in southern Miami-Dade and currently includes two zero-emissions nuclear generating units (Units 3 and 4) and one high-efficiency natural gas unit (Unit 5).
FPL submitted the application on June 30, 2009, and the NRC certified the 1,100-MW AP1000 design in 2011. The federal regulator granted permission for the agency's Office of New Reactors to issue the licenses after conducting a hearing in December 2017. The Commission found the staff's review of FPL's application adequate to make the necessary regulatory safety and environmental findings.
FPL has indicated that it wants to maintain the option to build new nuclear electric generating capacity; however, it has no immediate plans to proceed with construction of the new units (Unit 6 and 7).
Earlier this year in February, FPL announced plans to file with the NRC to renew and extend the operating licenses for Units 3 and 4. FPL's plan to pursue a second 20-year license renewal for each nuclear unit would be the first such application in the U.S. The license renewal would ultimately allow for an 80-year operating life for the units, which would operate until 2052 and 2053. FPL estimates that renewing the licenses would save FPL customers billions of dollars by avoiding the need for other more expensive power generation.
