Description
Description | Xcel Energy has a deal with Google to power a data center planned near Pine Island, north of Rochester, Minnesota. The project involves building four new power plants to provide 1,900 megawatts of renewable energy exclusively for the data center. Google will pay for all the new generation infrastructure, ensuring no additional costs are passed on to other consumers. The existing power grid can handle the load without requiring a whole new grid, but improvements in efficiency and clean energy storage are planned. |
