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.

OX2 will be responsible for constructing the solar farm, while AirTrunk will buy the renewable energy generated by the farm and associated energy attribute certificates with time-matching to Google’s consumption.
