Abstract

The article focuses on Alphabet Inc.'s Google entering a power purchase agreement with Ormat Technologies to utilize geothermal energy for its data centers in Nevada. Ormat will provide up to 150 megawatts of power through its projects, which are expected to begin commercial operations between 2028 and 2030, and the agreement will last for 15 years after the final project is operational. This partnership is seen as a strategic move for Google to meet its emissions goals, as geothermal energy offers reliable, around-the-clock power. The agreement is pending approval from Nevada's public utilities commission. [Extracted from the article]
