Google has made a significant move into the world of renewable energy, announcing a $3 billion deal to purchase hydropower from Brookfield Renewable Partners. This massive investment is expected to provide Google with 2.6 gigawatts of clean energy, enough to power its data centers and offices globally.
The agreement marks a major milestone in Google’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint, with the company aiming to reach 100% renewable energy usage by 2025. Currently, Google relies on a mix of solar and wind power to fuel its operations, but this deal will significantly boost its hydropower capacity.
Brookfield Renewable Partners is one of the largest publicly traded pure-play renewable energy companies in the world, with a portfolio of over 18,000 megawatts of capacity. The company’s hydropower assets are spread across North and South America, Europe, and Asia.
This deal highlights Google’s commitment to sustainability and its willingness to invest heavily in clean energy solutions. With this agreement, Google is not only reducing its environmental impact but also supporting the growth of renewable energy infrastructure worldwide.
