Search giant Google continues to work towards the full transition to renewable energy. The Corporation recently signed contracts with three new wind stations, one located in South Dakota, second in Iowa and one in Oklahoma. Thus, the total power consumption of Google’s clean power has reached 3 GW.
Google investments in clean and renewable energy reached us $ 3.5 billion, making the search giant the largest corporate client interested in these services. The Corporation will continue to increase the share of consumption of renewable energy, as over time the price of “clean” electricity is falling, and the volume of consumed electricity Google grow.
Solar farm 114 MW in 2010 signed an agreement with Google, becoming the first company that provided Google with renewable electricity. Since then, the price of solar and wind energy has decreased by 60-70 percent, so there is a high probability that Google very soon will completely switch to renewable energy. Earlier it was planned to do at the end of 2016, but apparently still objects connected to the old power plants.
