Google is expanding its renewable energy investments by purchasing an additional 600 megawatts of solar power for its data centers, sourced from projects in South Carolina developed by EnergyRe. This move is part of a broader strategy to eliminate its carbon footprint by 2030, amidst rising energy demands from AI. With prior commitments of $20 billion to develop zero-carbon power and substantial contracts for solar energy in 2023, Google is enhancing its green energy initiatives, aligning with other tech giants like Microsoft and Meta who are also investing further in renewable sources.
Google's recent acquisition of 600 megawatts of solar power underscores its commitment to renewable energy to meet the growing demand of its data centers.
The increasing computational demands from AI technologies have prompted Google to accelerate its renewable energy purchases, aiming for a carbon-free energy footprint by 2030.
