Google Secures Approval for Demand Response System

Google and Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) have received regulatory approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission to implement a demand response system at Google’s Fort Wayne data center. The initiative will enable Google to reduce its energy consumption during peak grid stress times and contribute some of its low-carbon energy to the grid. In exchange for this commitment, I&M will offer discounted electricity rates to Google, mitigating the need for costly electrical grid upgrades.
