RENEWABLE POWER SALES FOR GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, AMAZON AND MICROSOFT GROWS

According to new figures, the world’s largest technology companies have fuelled a track rise in renewables marketed directly to international corporations the year before. Due to a growing thirst for sustainable power, clean energy from renewables developers purchased by industries has increased three times in the two previous years. The most important renewable energy buyers to fuel their data hubs were software powerhouses, like Google, Facebook, Amazon, as well as Microsoft. BloombergNEF has discovered that international companies have, in the last 12 years, acquired sufficient clean power to overshadow all energy output of states like Vietnam and Poland. According to the study, technology companies purchased approximately a quarter of renewable power sales the other year. The biggest consumer is Google, which announced last year’s proposals for the greatest contract in the history of renewables. Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, said 18 independent deals to provide wind and solar power to Google worldwide would form part of the clean energy contract.
