NextEra Energy and Google Cloud announced a major expansion of their longstanding collaboration, unveiling plans to jointly develop multiple gigawatt-scale data center campuses across the U.S. with integrated power generation and capacity. The companies will also partner on NextEra’s enterprise-wide digital transformation, applying Google Cloud’s AI, forecasting models and infrastructure to enhance field operations, grid reliability and system planning.
The alliance aims to accelerate the buildout of AI-driven energy technologies and create commercial AI solutions for utilities, with the first product expected on the Google Cloud Marketplace by mid-2026. NextEra and Google are already developing their first three data center campuses and exploring additional sites.
The partnership builds on roughly 3.5 GW of existing joint energy projects, including the restart of the Duane Arnold Energy Center in Iowa and 600 MW of new clean energy capacity in Oklahoma to support Google’s infrastructure growth.
