NextEra Energy has secured a $1.9 billion loan from the U.S. Department of Energy to restart the Duane Arnold Energy Center in Iowa. The nuclear power plant, which has been offline since 2020, is expected to reconnect to the grid and resume power generation by 2029, providing over 600 megawatts of electricity to the regional power grid. Google has partnered with NextEra Energy to purchase its electricity output to support data centers, while also covering the costs of restarting and operating the plant. This restart will create jobs and drive regional economic development.
