Lightsource bp switches on 188-MW Indiana solar farm to supply Google

UK-based solar developer Lightsource bp said today it has brought online its 188-MW Honeysuckle solar project in St Joseph County, Indiana.

Lightsource bp has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Google for the solar park’s electricity, following the tech group’s announcement of a USD-2-billion (EUR 1.8bn) data centre campus in Fort Wayne.

“We have an ambitious goal to operate every Google campus on clean electricity every hour of every day by 2030, which will include our Fort Wayne data center once it comes online,” said Amanda Peterson Corio, Google’s global head of data centre energy.

Google invests in Taiwanese solar developer New Green Power

,

Google has made a capital investment in Taiwan-based New Green Power (NGP), in a deal that grants the US tech company the rights to procure up to 300 MW of solar power. The companies said that Google’s suppliers in the region could also gain access to NGP capacity.

NGP is a large-scale PV project developer, engineering & construction (EPC) and operator specialist founded in 2009. It has plans to expand its solar project pipeline in Taiwan to 1 GW in the coming years. NGP is a portfolio company of a climate infrastructure unit of U.S.-based asset manager, Blackrock.

Google signs Japan solar farm deals to power data centers

Google has entered into an arrangement with Japanese renewable energy providers who will build solar farms dedicated to providing electricity to the company’s data centers in Japan, Nikkei has learned.

Google recently signed corporate power purchase agreements with Clean Energy Connect (CEC) and Shizen Energy, marking the first time the company signed such contracts on Japanese soil.

CEC will invest 10 billion yen ($63.9 million) through 2026 to build roughly 800 solar farms that will provide about 70,000 kilowatts of capacity. CEC is a Tokyo joint venture that includes trading house Itochu and Kansai Electric Power as shareholders.

Google's Mountain View, CA offices feature curved roofs and textured solar panels that optimize the hours they can generate electricity.

At Google’s new campus, ‘dragonscale’ solar panels capture sunlight from all different angles

At Google’s newly opened campus in Mountain View, California, it isn’t immediately obvious that the roofs are covered in solar panels. But the sprawling canopies on each building—looking a little like futuristic circus tents—are covered in 50,000 small, silver-colored “dragonscale” photovoltaic panels, shaped to optimize the times they can generate solar power throughout the day.

It’s part of an approach that the company, along with architects from Bjarke Ingels Group and Heatherwick Studio, took to making the new campus, which covers more than a million square feet, as sustainable as possible. In an area currently undergoing a severe drought, it’s designed to save water. A massive geothermal system, the largest in North America, makes it possible to heat and cool the buildings without fossil fuels. The landscaping helps support biodiversity. The buildings’ solar skins, along with local wind power, will help the campus work toward Google’s goal of running on 100% renewable power, 24-7, by the end of the decade. (Right now, it runs on 90% renewable power.)
