It’s a sign of the shifting energy landscape as incumbents in the auto and electricity industry try to maintain the status quo, tech companies like Google are planning to generate 1 gigawatt of renewable energy and electric cars… (not forgetting, of course, the ex-tech-startup led Tesla Motors)
That’s 100 wind turbines as a guide. When I was at Deustche we started a 300MW wind project with Warwick Energy that cost about 500mio Stirling. So this is serious and real crack at green energy by Google to be looking at a project of this size. It just ratified even further our companies decision to go to paid Google Docs from MSoffice some time ago.
Sorry 300 turbines! 100 was our 300MW facility 🙂
