Internet and tech giant Google has announced that it has successfully generated more than 100% of its electricity demand from renewable energy in 2017, achieving the company's target
set in December 2016.
Back in late 2016, Urs Hölzle, Google's senior vice president of technology infrastructure, announced that the company planned to source all of the electricity
needed for its global operations from renewable sources.
Specifically, Urs Hölzle promised that not only would Google buy "enough wind and solar power each year to cover the entire electricity consumed by our operations," but the company also intends to create "renewable energy projects," meaning it will "only buy from the projects we buy.
"
At the time, Google was a leading corporate purchaser of renewable energy in the United States, Europe and Mexico, promising 2.
6 GW
of wind and solar power at the time.
In early April, Urs Hölzle returned to Google's The Keyword blog to announce that the company had successfully secured 100% of its electricity demand
from renewable sources in 2017 through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
Urs Hölzle explains: "In 2017, globally, for every kilowatt-hour of electricity consumed, we bought one kilowatt-hour of renewable energy
from wind or solar farms.
”
Google also maintains its position
as a leading corporate purchaser of renewable energy.
In 2017, its purchase scale has reached 3 GW
.
In addition, Google's renewable energy contracts have led to more than $3 billion in new capital investments
worldwide.
But Google isn't content to meet its electricity needs
by simply buying renewable energy.
The company continues to power all of its operations with renewable energy, but this will take some time and more investment
.
