While Google is first and foremost a technology company, it has become more and more embedded in the energy sector in recent years.
As one of the world's largest, most ubiquitous enterprises, its consumption of energy is almost unfathomably large.
In fact, according to a 2024 analysis by journalist Michael Thomas, Google's annual power consumption is higher than more than half the world's countries.
As such, the US-based company has made energy a central part of its business, often tussling with Amazon to be the global economy's largest corporate buyer of renewable energy.
But power purchase agreements (PPAs) aren't the only involvement Google has with the energy sector. Lately, the firm has become increasingly involved in modernising power grids.
