Google begins work on six more solar power plants Nov 16th 2013, 17:35, by Lucas Mearian, Computerworld Google has announced plans to continue its rollout of solar energy plants in the U.S. with its second largest investment to date: $80 million for six new facilities. So far, Google has committed over $1 billion to wind and solar power plants that create clean energy and generate "attractive financial returns," it said in a blog post. The new plants, which will be built in California and Arizona, are expected to generate 160 megawatts (MW) of electricity, enough to power 17,000 typical U.S. homes. They are expected to be operational by early 2014. The 17.5 megawatt/22 megawatt Victor Phelan project, located in San Bernardino, California, is part of six Recurrent Energy developed projects acquired by Google and KKR.
