Google continued its growth momentum as it announced an investment of over $13 billion in building new data centers and offices across US. Last year, the company claimed to have already invested nearly $9 billion to grow its footprint in the country and hired almost 10,000 people in US alone.
Sunder Pichai, the CEO for Google said, “This growth will allow us to invest in the communities where we operate, while we improve the products and services that help billions of people and businesses globally. Our new data center investments, in particular, will enhance our ability to provide the fastest and most reliable services for all our users and customers. As part of our commitment to our 100 percent renewable energy purchasing, we’re also making significant renewable energy investments in the U.S. as we grow. Our data centers make a significant economic contribution to local communities, as do the associated $5 billion in energy investments that our energy purchasing supports.”
