Google signs long-term energy deal with OG&E in Oklahoma

Google announced a long-term energy agreement with Oklahoma Gas and Electric (OG&E).

• Main action: Google will make a long-term financial commitment to pay for the infrastructure needed to serve its under-construction data center campuses in Muskogee and Stillwater, ensuring local households and businesses are not billed for that infrastructure and aiming to protect affordability for OG&E customers.
• Background and implementation details: In November Google announced power purchase agreements (PPAs) for solar plants in Stephens and Muskogee Counties; Google will provide capacity purchase agreements from those facilities to OG&E to supplement supply and partially offset the need for new energy projects as regional electricity demand grows.
