In 2021, Google signed agreements to buy power from new renewable energy projects with a combined capacity of nearly 1300 MW – expanding its global portfolio by almost 25% and re-affirming Google Cloud’s position as the cleanest cloud in the industry.
Google has now set a “moonshot goal” of operating on 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) by 2030.
This week, Google released the 2021 carbon-free energy percentages (CFE%) for each of its data centers. Globally, Google operated at 66%1 CFE in 2021 – 5% higher than 2019, but 1% lower than 2020.
