PENNSYLVANIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – The $3 billion deal secures 3 gigawatts of carbon-free hydropower to meet growing electricity demands from AI and data center expansion, supporting Google’s 24/7 clean energy goal.
- On Tuesday, Google agreed to pay more than $3 billion, finalizing 20-year PPAs for 670 MW from two Pennsylvania hydroelectric plants.
- Amid surging AI electricity needs, hyperscalers are securing new power, with Google’s framework enabling up to 3 GW of hydropower sourcing from Brookfield Asset Management’s Hydro Framework Agreement, part of its $75 billion plan.
- Working with PJM Interconnection, Google is using AI to accelerate grid hookups, while Brookfield Renewable Partners detailed infrastructure upgrades, outlining relicensing steps and AI-driven integration with PJM Interconnection.
