NextEra Energy in Nuclear Power Deal With Google
By Stephen Nakrosis
NextEra Energy entered into a deal with Google to supply power to the technology giant that will lead to the restarting of Iowa's lone nuclear facility.
Google will purchase energy generated by the Duane Arnold Energy Center, which is slated to resume operations and bcomee fully operational by the first quarter of 2029, NextEra said Monday. The deal is part of a 25-year agreement between the two companies.
The companies will also entered into a separate agreement to explore the deployment of nuclear generation nationwide, NextEra said.
Energy from the plant will help power Google's growing cloud and AI infrastructure in Iowa, the companies said.
Duane Arnold Energy Center ceased producing power in August 2020, according to NextEra.
Central Iowa Power Cooperative, a minority owner of the plant, will also purchase energy from the facility once it is restarted.
Restarting and running the 615-MW plant is expected to create around 400 direct full-time jobs and deliver more than $9 billion in economic benefits to the state, NextEra said.
