[quote=Anonymous]Wonder how this will go over with Google?

[quote] Tech companies’ rabid demand for electricity has them going straight to the source. On Monday, Google parent Alphabet announced its plan to buy Intersect, a San Francisco startup behind large renewable energy facilities in California and Texas.

The signed deal will see the Mountain View tech giant pay $4.75 billion in cash, plus take on Intersect’s debt, to acquire the company. According to a news release, Google will get an in-construction solar and battery project by a new data center in Texas, plus Intersect’s employees and its future projects. Non-Google investors will take over Intersect’s other existing and in-development projects, which include a planned 3.1 million-solar panel facility in western Fresno County that was pitched as the world’s largest battery energy storage system
…
Google’s deal with Intersect, the news release said, is meant “to unlock abundant, reliable, affordable energy supply that enables the buildout of data center infrastructure without passing on costs to grid customers.”
The in-construction Texas facility that Google’s getting from the deal offers a glimpse at the companies’ vision: As Google builds the large data center for running AI and cloud computing, Intersect’s solar farm will provide power, plus energy stability with 1.3 gigawatt-hours of battery storage[/quote]
