Google makes big clean energy purchase to power data centers

by John_A

Powering Google’s online empire takes a lot of energy, and the company wants to use all clean sources to run its data centers by 2025. The company announced the next step towards that milestone today with word that it purchased 842 megawatts of renewable energy on three continents. The purchase includes solar and wind power in locales that range from North Carolina to Chile and Sweden, doubling what it had bought so far. Google says today’s announcement is the largest purchase of clean energy by a non-utility company ever.
