Google Nebraska data centre figures exposed, including water use
Figures for water and power use at Google’s Nebraska data centres, which the company requested be treated as trade secrets, were exposed after flawed redaction in an annual report. Copying and pasting blacked-out text revealed key numbers, including maximum power demand, annual water consumption and expected tax refunds. The report also stated the facilities used or planned to use certain tax exemptions but did not receive incentives under another state law.
