Google and NextEra Energy will restart Iowa’s Duane Arnold nuclear plant by 2029, providing carbon-free power for AI and grid needs.
Google and NextEra Energy plan to restart Iowa’s Duane Arnold nuclear plant, shuttered in 2020, with operations targeted for early 2029 pending regulatory approval.
Google will purchase 25 years of 24/7 carbon-free power to support its AI and cloud infrastructure, while Central Iowa Power Cooperative will buy the remaining output under the same terms, avoiding increased costs for ratepayers.
NextEra is acquiring full ownership after buying the remaining 30% stake from two cooperatives.
The project is expected to create thousands of jobs and generate over $9 billion in economic benefits for Iowa, including $320 million in annual economic output and $3 million in annual tax revenue.
The restart supports growing energy demands from AI and strengthens clean energy and grid reliability.
