A new geothermal power project is now operational in Nevada, providing clean energy to Google’s data centers. The project, a collaboration between Google and startup Fervo, utilizes innovative technology to harness geothermal power. The relatively small project generates 3.5 megawatts of electricity, enough for about 750 homes. The electricity will be fed into the local grid, powering two of Google’s data centers near Las Vegas and Reno. This project aligns with Google’s goal of running its operations on carbon-free electricity by 2030. Google views geothermal as a crucial component of its future energy mix, complementing wind and solar power during periods of low production.
