Google Adopts Solar in Indiana
Google signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for the electricity from Honeysuckle Solar in Indiana.
The PPA was signed with Lightsource bp. Honeysuckle Solar is expected to generate 188 megawatts of new clean energy generation in St. Joseph County once it enters commercial operation.
The software company previously announced that it is expanding in the Midwest with a $2 billion data center campus in Fort Wayne.
“We have an ambitious goal to operate every Google campus on clean electricity every hour of every day by 2030, which will include our Fort Wayne data center once it comes online,” said Amanda Peterson Corio, Google’s Global Head of Data Center Energy, in a statement. “We look forward to working with Lightsource bp to support our Indiana operations with clean energy and drive continued economic impact in the state.”
Located about 10 miles west of South Bend, the Honeysuckle Solar project used solar panels from First Solar, smart solar trackers from Array Technologies and steel from Nucor.
