Google has partnered with Nevada utility NV Energy to develop geothermal energy supply for its data centers. Under the deal, the amount of electricity produced from geothermal sources on Nevada’s grid would increase from 3.5 MW to 115 MW in six years, Reuters reported, citing Google. The deal is part of an existing partnership between Google and the Berkshire Hathaway utility in Nevada in the area of low-carbon energy.
” “This allows customers to meet their growing electricity demand with 24/7 CFE carbon-free energy through their existing utility relationship and share in the long-term benefits that these projects provide, like increasing the share of clean and reliable power,” the company also said. Big Tech has been expanding in the data center department recently as artificial intelligence continues to gain popularity.
