Google Invests $25B to Expand AI and Data Centers Across the U.S. 🚀

Google plans to invest $25 billion over the next two years to expand data centers and AI infrastructure, according to CNBC. The investment will focus on states within the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection, the nation’s largest electric grid, which spans 13 states across the mid-Atlantic and parts of the Midwest and South. The company will also invest $3 billion in modernizing two hydropower plants in Pennsylvania. The deal is part of a broader agreement with Brookfield Asset Management to acquire 3,000 megawatts of hydroelectric power across the nation. These investments come as PJM faces growing strain from surging electricity demand tied to the rise of AI and industrial expansion.
