A shared belief that data centers should pay their own way.
Google pays for 100% of the electricity they use to power THEIR data centers; they cover any other direct costs associated with their growth; and they are constantly investing and implementing new energy technologies to help lower costs for all of us
When built responsibly, data centers can provide long-term, reliable electric demand, increasing utility revenue needed to support new energy infrastructure investments (transmission and generation) in a way that benefits all customers. We know rising energy costs are affecting U.S. families and businesses and we are commited to ensuring power remains affordable and accessible for Montgomery County residents and businesses. A core part of Google's responsible growth strategy is ensuring that data center expansion does not burden local communities.
