Google confirmed plans for a $650 million data center in Hermantown, Minnesota. The project features four buildings on a 200-acre site. Local opposition cites a lack of transparency during the planning phase.
Google will fund 700 megawatts of new clean energy infrastructure. This commitment includes 300 megawatts of wind power. The plan also incorporates 400 megawatts of battery storage. These investments support Google's clean energy expansion goals.
An environmental group filed a lawsuit against the project. The suit challenges the adequacy of the local government's review process.
