Google, an American multinational corporation and technology company, has made a strategic business agreement with Berkshire Hathaway electric utility NV Energy to fuel its Nevada data centers with cutting-edge geothermal electricity, according to a report by Reuters.
The deal is with the state utility regulators for approval; it would increase the amount of carbon-free geothermal electricity fueled into the local power grid for Google’s use to 115 megawatts from 3.5 megawatts in six years.
The agreement comes as tech companies are exploring opportunities to look for massive amounts of electricity to fuel their constantly expanding data centers or huge computer warehouses required to assist cutting-edge technologies such as generative AI and cloud computing.
