| Google buys Scottish wind Wants to power its cloud and offices Google has signed an offshore wind energy deal to power its UK offices and cloud regions with carbon-free energy by 2030. The internet search outfit has signed a power purchase agreement (PAA) with French utility company Engie to receive 100MW of carbon-free energy, which the Moray West offshore wind farm in Scotland will generate. According to Google, the PPA means its UK operations – including its offices and datacentre regions – will operate at or near 90 per cent carbon-free energy on an hourly basis, from a projected 67 per cent at present, when the agreement goes live in 2025. The company said: “By achieving this goal, every Gmail sent, every Search query asked and every YouTube video watched will be powered by cloud regions that run on carbon-free energy every hour of every day.” https://fudzilla.com/news/55887-goog...-scottish-wind |
