Google Signs Solar PPA

Tech company Google signed a 12-year power purchase agreement to purchase renewable energy from a 435-megawatt (MWdc) solar project.

Google signed the agreement with energyRe, an independent energy company, which will develop, own and operate the project. Through the agreement, energyRe will supply electricity and Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) generated from the solar project to Google.

The project will support Google's 2030 goal to run on 24/7 carbon-free energy on every grid where the company operates. The deal was facilitated through LevelTen Energy's Accelerated Process (LEAP™), which was co-developed by Google and LevelTen Energy to make clean energy buying and selling more efficient.

"As we continue to progress towards our goal to operate every Google campus on clean electricity every hour of every day by 2030, we are always looking for opportunities to accelerate the delivery of new clean power to the grid," said Amanda Peterson Corio, Google Global Head of Data Center Energy, in a statement. "Using our scalable procurement approach, we've been able to collaborate quickly with energyRe to deliver new clean energy to the SPP grid system and support our 24/7 progress in the region."
