Google Unveils New Ways to Advance Clean-Energy Goals
A recent statement from American tech giant Google has revealed different ways the California-based company will pursue its renewable energy goals in the United STates. In a blog post published on the company’s website, global head of Data Center Energy Amanda Peterson Corio, as well as Data Center energy lead Christopher Scott, discussed several ways Google can advance its clean-energy goals.
The blog post announced that Google is teaming up with Swift Current Energy and Energix Renewables to pursue its goal of achieving 24/7 clean energy on the PJM (Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland) interconnection. This interconnection is responsible for coordinating electricity movement through Illinois, Delaware, Kentucky, Michigan, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, the District of Columbia, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee and West Virginia.
According to Google, maintaining grid responsibility will be one of its top priorities as it strives to make sure it runs on carbon green energy (CFE) 24/7. The partnership with Swift Current Energy and Energix Renewables will support Google in its efforts to decarbonize the energy it uses to power its Virginia and Ohio operations. As one of the top cloud services providers on the globe, Google used a whopping 24 TWh worth of electricity in 2023 alone to keep its data centers running.
With the company investing heavily in artificial intelligence research, its energy use will undoubtedly increase in the coming years. Alongside Microsoft, another technology company with large, energy-intensive data centers, Google consumes more electricity than dozens of countries. Both companies are now among the top proponents of renewable energy as an alternative power source in the tech industry.
However, Google has struggled to bring new carbon-free energy capacity online as the PJM region’s economic growth has outstripped the supply of renewables and deployment of new power transmission infrastructure. Thanks to a backlog caused by high green-energy project volumes and grid upgrades, there have been extended delays in the new CFE generation, Google notes.
The tech company’s partnership with Energix Renewables will allow it to tap into 1.5 gigawatts (GW) worth of solar energy from new projects in the PJM region. Furthermore, its collaboration with Swift Current Energy will enable a 299-megawatt (MW) solar project dubbed Black Diamond that won’t require major grid upgrades. Both companies will also make a joint investment in Double Black Diamond, a 593 MW solar project that’s poised to be the largest in the MISO (Midwest Independent System Operator) grid system.
Major corporations such as Google and other consumers of huge amounts of energy could in future benefit from the decentralized energy-generation and distribution solutions that are being commercialized by many companies, such as Correlate Energy Corp. (OTCQB: CIPI).
