According to an official company blog post today, Google is increasing its investment into California's Alta Wind Energy Center (AWEC) by $102 million, bringing its total investment in the renewable energy facility to $157 million. The AWEC is being developed by Terra-Gen Power, primarily. The first development within the massive facility is the Alta-Oak Creek Mojave Project. Google's latest funding commitment would go to build an extension at the facility. The AWEC has a transmission line, the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project, dedicated to it which makes it distinct from many, large-scale renewable energy projects that have been proposed in the U.S.
