Google has been awarded a Federal Regulatory Energy Commission (FERC) permit by the U.S. government, allowing the company to trade energy in the wholesale marketplace. The permit has been granted to Google through its subsidiary, Google Energy.However, is improbable that Google will be retailing electricity any time soon. The move is seen rather as a strategy by Google to mitigate its substantive energy costs. A recent article in the New York Times noted that Google’s data center in Oregon could require as much as 103 megawatts of power to run once it is at full capacity - enough to power the city of Oakland, CA for four months.
At the time of thier application Niki Fenwick, a Google representative, said “Right now, we can’t buy affordable, utility-scale, renewable energy in our markets. We want to buy the highest quality, most affordable renewable energy wherever we can and use the green credits. We don’t have any concrete plans. We want the ability to buy and sell electricity in case it becomes part of our portfolio.”
