On tiny Christmas Island, Google spurs renewable energy push for Indian Ocean data hub
Australia’s remote Indian Ocean outpost of Christmas Island has enough power to support a new Google data centre without depriving locals, but its arrival could spur a push to renewable energy, the island’s biggest employer and the tech giant said.
Alphabet’s Google announced on Monday it will build a data hub on the tiny island located 350 km (220 miles) south of Indonesia, confirming a Reuters report.
