Google has further intensified its desire for clean and sustainable energy as it has made a sizable chunk of investment into two wind farms. Google has made investment of nearly $38.3 million into two wind farms as an effort to serve the process of serving consumers with renewable energy. The wind farms presently generate 169.5 megawatts of electricity that is more than enough to light up and provide power to more than 55,000 homes.

Energy conservation and renewable energy are the newer areas where Google has put its initiatives and efforts for past several years. Previous year Google.org released out PowerMeter, a service as to help consumers monitor and optimize their energy usage. It has brought services to more users for smart devices and appliances during 2009 with the PowerMeter API. Boosting Google’s effort in February 2010, Google was provided an order by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to buy and sell energy at market rates, to make energy management for its data centers more efficient

However on this development, Google’s Green Business Operations Manager Rick Needham told “uses some of the latest wind turbine technology and control systems to provide one of the lowest-cost sources of renewable energy to the local grid. The turbines can continuously adjust the individual blade pitch angles to achieve optimal efficiency and use larger blades with 15 percent more swept area than earlier generations, allowing capture of even more wind energy for each turbine. The control systems for these wind farms are also advanced and dynamic, allowing for remote 24/7 monitoring and operation to ensure maximum turbine up-time and power production.”
