Google has invested $38.8 million in two North Dakota wind farms. This is the first direct investment by Google in utility-scale renewable energy generation.
Utilising one of the world’s richest wind resources – the winds of the North Dakota plains, the two wind farms produce 169.5 megawatts of power and can light up around 55,000 homes.
In an official statement Google says “Through this $38.8 million investment, we’re aiming to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy — in a way that makes good business sense, too.”
