NextEra Energy partners with Google to restart Iowa nuclear plant

SUMMARY

NextEra Energy has partnered with Google to revive the Duane Arnold nuclear plant in Iowa. This deal will enable the plant to restart and supply power to support Google's expanding cloud and AI services.

The plant, closed since 2020, is the first U.S. nuclear facility to attempt a restart after complete shutdown. NextEra, which is acquiring full ownership through a 25-year agreement, aims to reopen the plant by the first quarter of 2029. The move comes as demand for clean energy surges, particularly from tech companies.
