Google follows Oklahoma investments with world’s large hydroelectric power agreement

 

 

A week after Google announced its plan to inject $9 billion in Oklahoma’s data center indutry, the company unveiled the world’s largest corporate clean power pact for hydroelectricity.

Google gained control of nearly three gigawatts of U.S. hydropower in a deal with investment firm Brookfield Asset Management.

The tech megacorporation has acquired the rights to electricity generated from two hydropower facilities in Pennsylvania in a 20-year purchase agreement, with plans to invest $25 billion in data centers across Pennsylvania and surrounding states in the coming years as well, per Reuters.

Just last week, Google said it intends to expand its data center at Pryor and move forward with construction of a new data center in Stillwater.
