Google to be powered by 100% renewables from 2017

Internet and tech giant Google has announced that all its data centres and offices will be powered fully by renewable energy from next year.

Google is the first corporate buyer of renewable electricity in the world with 44 per cent of its electricity bought from solar and wind plants in 2015.

The company has now committed to buying 100 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources from next year onwards.

The 100 per cent renewables target does not mean that Google will obtain all its energy directly from wind and solar but rather that every year, the total purchases from renewables equals the electricity needed for its operations.
