Google has signed a deal with NV Energy to help power its Nevada datacenters using geothermal energy under an arrangement the megacorp claims is more progressive than existing renewable energy contracts.
That has now been expanded to 115 MW of power that Fervo is able to supply to the local grid via NV Energy, albeit through an agreement that still needs to be approved by State regulators. Although Google pioneered PPAs, it now says these have their limitations, such as existing in isolation from broader grid planning and utility investment processes. The variability of the weather can also mean inconsistent solar and wind availability, and that fully decarbonizing electricity thus requires other technologies which can deliver clean power whenever it is needed, Google claims.
