Google has started using renewable energy from Invenergy wind farms to power its newest Google Cloud region in the United States. This move supports Google’s goal to run on clean energy every hour of every day by 2030. The company signed a new agreement with Invenergy, a leading developer of sustainable energy projects. Under this deal, wind power generated by Invenergy’s facilities will directly supply electricity to Google’s data centers in the region.

The partnership adds to Google’s long-standing commitment to sustainability. Google has been carbon neutral since 2007. It matched 100% of its global electricity use with renewable energy purchases for several years. Now, the focus is shifting toward real-time clean energy matching. This means using renewable power at the same time it is consumed, not just over the course of a year.
Invenergy operates some of the largest wind farms in North America. These sites produce enough clean electricity to support major tech infrastructure. The new arrangement helps stabilize the local power grid while reducing carbon emissions. It also shows how big tech companies and clean energy providers can work together effectively.

Google Cloud customers will benefit from this greener infrastructure. Their data and applications will run on systems powered by wind energy. This change does not affect service performance but improves the environmental footprint of cloud computing. The project is part of a broader effort by Google to invest in clean energy across its global operations. More deals like this are expected as Google expands its cloud regions and pushes toward its 24/7 carbon-free energy target.
