Google just signed the world’s largest corporate hydropower deal — 3 gigawatts of clean electricity, enough to power 2.4 million homes. This $3 billion partnership with Brookfield Asset Management locks in a 20-year supply from two Pennsylvania hydropower plants, starting with 670 megawatts. Unlike solar or wind, hydropower provides 24/7 stable base load energy, perfect for the massive electricity demands of AI training and cloud computing. With plans to invest another $25 billion in data centers, Google is reshaping how big tech powers AI. Will hydropower become the new model for clean energy in tech?
