Google takes step into renewable energy market

摘要

The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has granted Google Energy authorisation to sell energy, capacity and ancillary services at market-based rates. In its application to the FERC, Google Energy stated its intention to "act as a power marketer, purchasing electricity and reselling it to wholesale customers".rnThe authorisation allows the company to function as any other utility company and complements its existing activities in renewable energy.
