Google announced the first major PPA for electricity produced from natural gas with CCS. The power will come from the Broadwing Energy plant in Decatur, IL. Google will purchase most of the electricity produced by the 400-megawatt plant to power its data centers connected to the same regional grid. Since the plant’s gas-fired turbine is equipped with CCS, it will emit less than 10% as much CO2 as conventional natural gas-fired power.
