Alphabet revealed plans to build a new data center complex in the Minneapolis area, designed to operate solely on wind and solar power. The site will feature what is expected to be the world’s largest battery storage system, providing uninterrupted power and enhancing grid stability for intensive AI computing tasks.

The project aligns with Alphabet’s strategy to expand AI infrastructure while reducing carbon emissions and operating costs. By integrating advanced energy storage with renewables, the new facility will support growing AI workloads, improve resiliency, and demonstrate sustainable growth in data center operations.
