A $20 billion joint venture between Google, TPG Rise Climate, and Intersect Power is set to redefine the intersection of clean energy and digital infrastructure.

This partnership combines TPG Rise Climate’s $800 million investment in Intersect Power with a long-term vision to synchronize AI-ready data centers and renewable energy facilities.

The financial backing and expertise provided by TPG Rise Climate ensure the project’s ambitious goals of delivering scalable, carbon-free infrastructure are within reach.

The collaboration, led by TPG Rise Climate, unites Google’s expertise in technology and Intersect Power’s leadership in renewable energy. Together, they aim to develop industrial parks where data centers run primarily on carbon-free electricity generated locally, reducing dependence on long-distance power transmission.

Microsoft recently announced an $80 billion commitment to AI-focused data centers, with 50% allocated to U.S.-based facilities, underscoring its expansive global ambitions.

In comparison, Google’s $20 billion initiative, while smaller in scale, emphasizes a targeted, integrated approach by co-locating AI-ready data centers with renewable energy facilities. This strategy prioritizes efficiency and sustainability by addressing energy generation and data infrastructure simultaneously.

As demand for AI, cloud services, and decarbonization accelerates, the industry will continue to see significant capital inflows into projects that merge energy and digital innovation. Solutions integrating renewable energy with modular, scalable infrastructure are set to become the new standard.

Through this initiative, Google is positioning itself as a leader in U.S. data center development by aligning cutting-edge infrastructure with renewable energy goals.

Partnering with TPG Rise Climate and Intersect Power, Google is demonstrating its commitment to building sustainable, AI-ready infrastructure that advances both technological and environmental progress.
