, I estimated that at the end of 2018, the Giant Five owned or had contracted for, more than 10,000 megawatts of conventional and renewable generation capacity. That means that the five companies own more electric generation capacity than the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. To burnish their “green” credentials, the Giant Five are also making significant renewable-energy purchases.
. And the company claims that it “matches” all of its electricity use with equivalent amounts of renewables.

Of those places, Maine comes closest to Google’s hunger for electricity.
While Google uses a lot of electricity now, there’s little doubt that it will use even more in the years ahead. Last year, the company announced some $13 billion in new investments in the United States,
