Chilean Environmental Concerns Spark Google's Decision
SANTIAGO, Chile – Google announced on Tuesday the halt of plans for a major $200 million data center in Chile as concerns over environmental sustainability grow. Initially approved in 2020, the project was set to take place in Santiago amid increasing demand for cloud technologies.
Revised Plans for Sustainability
The U.S. tech giant's decision follows a Chilean court's partial reversal of the center's authorization due to water usage issues. Google is now committed to revising the project to adhere to more stringent environmental regulations.
