Invenergy is one of six renewable energy companies Google partnered with for a total 842 MW of renewable energy across three countries.
Of the total six agreements, Google’s PPA with Invenergy is the largest.
These deals almost double the amount of renewable energy that feed the company’s data centers worldwide.
The agreement entails the sale of wind energy from the Bethel Wind Energy Facility in Texas.
Invenergy will supply 225MW of capacity, resulting in about 965,000 MWh of renewable energy generated yearly in Texas and delivered to Southwest Power Pool (SPP), which is a regional electricity grid.
Invenergy vice president of sales and marketing Craig Gordon said: "We are thrilled to bring our innovation in energy to Google, a company famous for their innovation in technology.
"Their commitment to using renewable energy sources to power their data centers represents a significant change in the way big corporations are thinking about sustainability and we are proud to be a part of those efforts."
Last year, Invenergy concluded several other wind power purchase agreements with other corporate businesses to provide them with renewable energy in order to offer support to their sustainability objectives. These agreements, alongside Google’s PPA, would bring Invenergy’s total corporate customer wind portfolio to 570 MW.
