That equity investment brings the Internet giant’s overall portfolio of clean energy investments to over $1 billion in 11 solar and wind projects since 2010. Google also released the following infographic showing the impact of its clean energy investments. The projects Google supports will be capable of generating a collective 2 gigawatts of electricity when finished, enough to power 500,000 U.S. homes.
