Flipitmoney
Google partnered with NextEra Energy to revive Iowa's Duane Arnold Energy Center, a 615-MW nuclear plant closed in 2020. Pending regulatory approval, it may reopen in 2029. Google will purchase 24/7 carbon-free power from the plant to support its Iowa cloud and AI infrastructure, while Central Iowa Power Cooperative will buy surplus electricity.
