Google Strikes Solar Farm Deal to Accelerate Net Zero Transition in Australia

Internet giant Google has stepped up its net zero transition in Australia by investing in a new solar farm in New South Wales (NSW).

On Dec. 19, data centre firm AirTrunk, Swedish energy company OX2, and Google announced a partnership on renewable energy.

The three companies have agreed to enter into a long-term Power Purchase Agreement and will develop a 25-megawatt solar farm in Riverina, NSW.
