Powering the Possibilities of Tomorrow
Google partners with communities to customize each data center to fit the unique characteristics of each site and the needs of each community. With thoughtful planning, Google aims for the LaGrange Data Center to be part of the solution to grid modernization, energy affordability, and economic development.
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 LaGrange residents and businesses. A core part of Google's responsible growth strategy is ensuring that data center expansion does not burden local communities.
Investing in Local Energy Affordability
As part of its commitment to LaGrange, Google is providing $1 million to support Groundswell's SOUL® (Save On Utilities Long-term) program. This funding will deliver critical home safety and efficiency upgrades for local seniors and families, helping to lower energy costs and improve resilience.
“Google’s $1 million contribution will support critical home repairs and energy efficiency upgrades for at least 50 LaGrange families, providing long-term energy bill relief and preserving home ownership,” said Michelle Moore, Groundswell CEO. “We appreciate Google’s commitment to being a good neighbor, and we’re honored to work alongside them to build a more affordable energy future for LaGrange.”
