Data Center Footprint

Google operates 30+ countries of data centers. US hyperscale campuses target 500 MW+ per site; a Michigan campus (Project Cannoli) is backed by 2.7 GW of new resources. Google has 7,800+ MW of energy generation contracted in Texas. In March 2026, Google integrated 1 GW of demand response across US operations — the first hyperscaler at this scale of grid curtailment flexibility.

Energy Strategy

Google signed the first corporate SMR fleet deal in the US — Kairos Power, 500 MW by 2035. First reactor: Hermes 2 at Oak Ridge, TN (TVA partnership, 50 MW, 2030). Google is also in advanced discussions with NextEra for up to 9 GW more, including recommissioning Iowa's Duane Arnold plant by 2028.

Google's broader energy target is 24/7 carbon-free energy across all data centers and offices by 2030. This means hourly matching of electricity consumption with carbon-free sources on every grid where Google operates. The company uses Time-based Energy Attribute Certificates to validate clean generation on an hourly basis and has structured renewable PPAs across its global portfolio to progress toward that goal.
