What was said
"Google did a great deal in Georgia, you know, signed an agreement upfront, you know, to build to invest to build this new electric generating capacity while they're building their data center. and they got a four-year rate freeze before their data center is even done."
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright claims large data-centre projects can expand the grid by paying for new generating capacity as demand rises. He points to what he describes as a Google agreement in Georgia and says it delivered a four-year electricity rate freeze in the area affected.
