Google customers and users need high-performance computing around the clock – and it all runs in our data centers. Demand for our services is growing every year, driving continued growth in our energy use, especially with the emergence of AI. Meeting this growing demand is one of the key challenges of our time. Within this growth, we see a tremendous opportunity to build a smarter energy system that benefits people everywhere. Doing so requires transforming the operations of large electricity users like Google and accelerating the broader transition to reliable, affordable, and carbon-free electricity grids.
Google’s Data Center Energy & Power team provides the structure, tools and solutions to meet Google’s growing data center energy demand. In addition, we pursue a range of actions to partner with the industry, enable more clean energy, break down policy barriers, and drive new technological innovation – all with the aim of driving the systems change needed to meet growing electricity demand around the world. We are working hard to meet this moment of demand growth responsibly, including bringing large amounts of new clean energy online, driving massive efficiency gains across our hardware and software, and partnering to accelerate the clean energy transition for all.
