Google and NextEra Energy Partner to Speed Up U.S. Nuclear Energy Deployment
NextEra Energy and Google have announced a new collaboration to restart Iowa’s Duane Arnold Energy Center, with Google committing to a 25-year purchase of carbon-free nuclear energy from the facility to power its AI infrastructure in the state, and Central Iowa Power Cooperative (CIPCO) purchasing the remaining output under the same terms. The collaboration is expected to strengthen local grid reliability, create hundreds of direct jobs and over a thousand indirect jobs, and deliver significant economic benefits across Iowa.
