Google has placed Room In his radar after he found something big on his territory. According to him Spanish electrical system report y Renewable energy sources in the Spanish electrical systemTwo documents made by Electric red presented for him Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic ChallengeThe Spanish territory closed 2024 with a renewable production of 148 999 GWH, 10.3% more than in 2023.
This figure represents 56.8% on the total of the mix Spanish annual energy. In 2024 the Spanish electrical system installed 7.3 new renewable GW, mainly solar and wind energy. At the same time, global energy demand increased by 2.2% in 2024, which translates into a significant acceleration compared to the average annual increase of 1.3% in the previous decade.
For his part, the International Energy Agency (AIE) It emphasizes that the electrical demand has made an important jump of 4.3%. That is, it has sent a much larger rhythm than that of the entire energy, but also that of economic progress, of 3.2%. This scenario responds to certain structures, such as the increase in the use of artificial intelligence and data centers.
Google chooses Spain to get its electricity
In this international and national context, Google acquires electricity from a wind farm in Room And it will continue to do it in the next 10 years.
Exus renewable energy sourcesIndependent Energy Producer (IPP) and leading signature in the elaboration and management of assets for renewable energy, has made the Energie -Purchasing Agreement (PPA) public in the long term that has been reached with Google. Will offer clean energy from Cascant Wind Park in Navarra, Spain.
The aforementioned agreement supports the sustainability ambitions of Google and feel an important precedent in the transition of Exus On the way to a leader and energy supplier IPP for data centers on the European continent. Under the 10 -year -old PPA, Exus Will deliver to the Spanish activities of Google 35 MW of renewable electricity.
This electricity will have its origins in the Cascant Wind Park from 51 MW, something that strengthens its dedication to obtain sustainable energy in Europe. This project will help Google To achieve its carbon -free energy objectives 365 days a year.
Google has a clear goal for 2030
The agreement was easier to reach Leap (accelerated leveling energy process)made in combination with Google y Levels energy To optimize the hiring and implementation of PPAs of clean energy.
Likewise, it stimulates the achievement of the goal of Googlewho aims to work with carbon -free energy (EBC) 24/7 in all its networks by 2030. A stage completely contrary to the person we watched some time ago, when the bad news was reported for renewable energy because Amazon, Meta, Microsoft and Google bet on nuclear.
Clean environmental goals reach their peak and Google They join them, with a clear participation Room.
Beyond Google, Spain has an obligation to renewable energy
Of his place, Room has joined the Integrated energy and climate (PNIEC) As a result, it undertakes to cover 81% of its electricity needs only with renewable sources for the year 2030.
Wind energy is a crucial actor to complete the objectives attached to that plan and Cascant Wind Park It represents an important contribution. The estimate is that the initiative of the Cascant Wind Park Produce more than 136 GWH of clean electricity per year, which corresponds to the consumption of more than 41,000 houses. In turn, avoid around 17,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
Google has placed Room In the radar of his search engine when considering the potential of his wind, something big and necessary for the company. That is why a hint of hope is generated for GoogleThat he would think to surrender to the biggest challenge of the planet. There came a time when they thought they wouldn’t achieve it.
