Google has invested $75M within a wind farm, over $1 billion dollars in renewable energy.

Google seems to have a hand in everything currently. Be it new technology in clothing accessories or their particular wireless network, Google is all over the place. In Iowa, there is a much greater Google presence as Google has invested $75 million within a local wind farm.

The investment went along to a 50MW wind farm north of Des Moines, Iowa. It is called the Rippey Project and it’s function by RPM Access. This can be a pretty big move for Search engines, who has invested nearly some sort of billion dollars in renewable strength already.

According to Google’s Standard Blog, the project is to deliver power to 15, 000 Iowa homes. They’ll be selling the energy provided on the Central Iowa Power Cooperative, and on to local customers. The wind farm itself is powered with turbines produced by Nordex USA.

This is a really cool move by Google. Not simply is investing in clean strength important, but Google is also investing in several companies with this project. Your wind farm itself, the generator makers, and even the energy company to a extent. All in the identify of renewable energy.
But why are they doing that?
