This is how Google wants to feed artificial intelligence. It will spend billions on hydropower.

As reported by Reuters, the agreement between Google and Brookfield Asset Management includes initial 20-year power purchase agreements totaling $3 billion for electricity generated by two hydroelectric power plants in Pennsylvania .

The tech giant will also invest $25 billion in data centers in Pennsylvania and neighboring states over the next two years, Semafor reported on Tuesday.

Tech giants are looking for energy to feed artificial intelligence.

The technology industry has intensified its search for massive amounts of clean electricity to power data centers needed for artificial intelligence and cloud computing, leading to record growth in U.S. energy consumption after nearly two decades of stagnation.

Ruth Porat, president and chief investment officer of Google's parent company, Alphabet, is scheduled to discuss the news at an artificial intelligence summit in Pittsburgh. President Donald Trump is expected to attend the event, where $70 billion in investments in AI and energy will be announced .

“This partnership with Brookfield is a significant step forward, ensuring clean energy supply in the PJM (Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland) region where we operate,” Amanda Peterson Corio, director of data center energy at Google, said in a statement to Reuters.

Google buys geothermal and nuclear energy

Over the past year, Google has secured several first-ever power purchase agreements, including for carbon-free geothermal energy and advanced nuclear power. The company is also partnering with the nation's largest grid operator, PJM Interconnection, to use artificial intelligence to accelerate the process of connecting new power sources to the grid.

The US federal government's agreement with Google Cloud to provide cloud services to the government and key state agencies is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks. Google is offering a 75% discount, as are other tech giants.
