Solar project developer Candela Renewables will supply Google with 140MW of power from a facility in Texas as part of a new power purchase agreement.

Flurry of deals in US southeast was among highlights as solar corporate procurement soared between 2018 (5.4GW) and 2019 (9.6GW), BloombergNEF analysts tell PV Tech.

In filings with Nevada's Public Utilities Commission, the utility has outlined plans to power an under-construction Google data centre with solar backed by energy storage, in a deal that has the potential to break the corporate PV/battery record.

The news comes weeks after the technology giant announced a raft of 1.6GW of undisclosed global renewable energy deals, including 720MW of US solar.

PPA is part of 1.6GW clean energy spree announced by Google last month and will allow Chicago-based Hecate to deploy 500MW of solar in Lone Star state.

Deal to procure 1.6GW of renewables worldwide will see Silicon Valley giant purchase 720MW of PV in the US, 160MW in Denmark and 125MW from Chilean solar-plus-wind hybrid.

Corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs) for renewable energy swelled to 13.4GW in 2018, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF).

Tech giant Google has signed its first power purchase agreement in Asia, according to a statement from the company released on Tuesday evening.

Already busy developing a pair of energy-efficient data centre campuses in Tennessee and Northern Alabama, Google announced an even grander plan to develop a 413MW pipeline of PV projects within both states.

SolarEdge’s electric vehicle (EV) consumers now have the option of controlling the company’s EV-charging solar inverter through Google’s AI-powered virtual assistant, Google Assistant.
