Google has announced a massive project to build renewable energy facilities worth $20 billion. This initiative aims to power data centers essential for artificial intelligence (AI) operations.
In partnership with renewable energy developer Intersect Power and the TPG Rise Climate investment fund, the project will include solar and wind power plants and energy storage systems. A notable feature is the co-location of data centers and energy facilities, reducing grid strain and enhancing energy supply resilience.
The first project phase is set to launch by 2026, with full completion by 2027. This will enable Google to power its data centers with clean energy, supporting the rapid growth of AI technologies and reducing the company’s carbon footprint.
Previously, Google signed an agreement with Kairos Power to use small modular nuclear reactors to power its data centers, highlighting the company’s commitment to diversifying clean energy sources.
