NextEra Plans for More Power in Iowa After Google Nuclear Deal

One day after NextEra Energy Inc. revealed it would reopen a nuclear plant in Iowa to feed Google data centers, the energy developer said it’s now planning for more power generation in the area for the AI boom.

“Our land team has already taken necessary steps to be able to add additional generation and accommodate their future demand,” Chief Executive Officer John Ketchum said. Potential power sources include solar, wind, energy storage or natural gas plants, he said.
