LCG, September 3, 2026--Fervo Energy earlier this week announced a 396-MW power purchase agreement (PPA) with Google to enable the continued development of the Cape Station enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) GeoCluster, located in southwest Utah. Under the agreement, Google will purchase carbon-free, 24/7 electricity designed to serve as a foundational building block for a potential data center in Utah. The facility is expected to come online in 2028.

Duke Energy Carolinas Files IRP
LCG, September 6, 2018--Duke Energy Carolinas excluded new nuclear construction in its recently filed Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), which includes its 15-year plan for new power generation.
For many years, expansion of nuclear generation has been a normal part of Duke's solution to meeting long-term electric supply needs. However, new nuclear reactors are not part of the new IRP. However, new nuclear projects remain a possibility for the future. Duke continues to monitor developments in advanced nuclear reactors and small modular reactors (SMRs).
Duke does plan to pursue receiving license extensions for its existing nuclear assets, which total 7,400 MW of capacity. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has historically issued 40-year licenses for the initial reactor operating period, with 20-year extensions available to units that qualify. All of Duke's nuclear units have received the first, 20-year extensions, which allow for a 60-year life. The next step a number of companies, including Duke, are considering with the NRC is to extend the licenses for another 20 years, or a total of 80 years. If the existing carbon-free nuclear plants can receive an additional 20 years of operations, then there will be significant benefits with respect to limiting carbon emissions.
