Google's Iowa Nuclear Power Plant Revival Secures $1.9B Federal Loan
Google's Iowa nuclear power plant revival has secured a $1.9 billion federal loan to fund refurbishment, aiming to supply clean energy for AI data centers. The project aligns with broader tech industry efforts to repurpose shuttered nuclear facilities to meet rising electricity demands from AI infrastructure.
Google said it would bring an Iowa nuclear power plant back from the dead. Now the plant's owner is getting a $1.9 billion loan from the U.S. Energy Department.
