Alphabet secured multiple long-term clean energy agreements to support its artificial intelligence infrastructure.
The company signed 20-year power purchase agreements with The AES Corporation for a new Google data center in Texas.
A separate deal with Xcel Energy will add 1.90 gigawatts of clean energy for a new data center in Minnesota.
These agreements support Alphabet’s planned capital expenditure of $175 billion to $185 billion for AI-related projects in 2026.
The strategy secures dedicated power sources to mitigate energy reliability and cost constraints for Google Cloud and AI operations.
