“Massive change, massive challenges, massive opportunities,” SPP CEO Lanny Nickell said in kicking off the grid operator's second Energy Synergy Summit that focused on meeting data center growth.

Xcel Energy says that a partnership with NextEra Energy will allow its operating companies to contract up to 6 GW of data center capacity by the end of 2027.

NextEra Energy Resources brought 7.2 GW of new generation and storage into operation and added 13.5 GW to its backlog in 2025.

NextEra Energy’s annual investor event featured a goal to power 15 to 30 GW of data center hubs by 2035 and a series of nearer-term agreements in the technology sector.

A U.S. district court judge in Massachusetts granted NextEra Energy’s motion to dismiss claims the company violated federal and state antitrust laws in its efforts to block the New England Clean Energy Connect transmission project.

FERC granted NextEra Energy’s request to waive certain rules under MISO’s tariff to allow the company to restart its Duane Arnold nuclear plant by the end of 2029.
