Google reports 2025 sustainability gains and clean energy deals

Google has published its 2026 Environmental Report covering fiscal year 2025, summarizing its sustainability performance, AI efficiency improvements, clean energy procurement, and related initiatives.

• Main announcement: Google reports that in 2025 it signed agreements for over 12 GW of net-new clean energy, matched 100% of electricity consumption with renewable energy purchases for the ninth consecutive year, and reduced operational emissions by 2% year over year.
• Additional details: The report says Google’s data centers operated at a 1.09 PUE fleet-wide average, its water stewardship projects replenished about 7.7 billion gallons of water, and its carbon reduction initiatives avoided over 58 million tCO2e in 2025; it also cites early-2026 actions such as integrating 1 GW of demand response capacity and announcing partnerships for nuclear, geothermal, battery, hydropower, and fusion projects.
• Context: This is a corporate sustainability report and performance update, not a standalone deal announcement, though it references multiple earlier announcements and projects from 2025 and early 2026.
