NextEra Energy Inc. is planning to restart the Duane Arnold nuclear power plant in Iowa, primarily to supply Google data centers, according to a report Monday on Fox Business.
The plant is expected to start delivering power by 2029 under a partnership with Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc., according to the report. The 600-megawatt plant shut down in 2020, but NextEra has been evaluating a restart for at least a year amid surging demand for power.
NextEra shares were up as much as 3.4% on Monday in New York.
