Google Invests $10 Million in Energy Affordability for Nevada

Google has announced an eight-figure investment to support energy innovation and affordability in Nevada. The tech giant will provide $10 million, split equally between two separate initiatives. Half of this sum, $5 million, will go towards establishing the Residential Energy Upgrade Program (RE-UP) with the Nevada Clean Energy Fund. This program offers no-cost energy upgrades to eligible households, including insulation, window replacements, and air conditioning system replacements.

According to Kirsten Stasio, CEO of NCEF, this effort targets low- and moderate-income households who fall between traditional weatherization programs. The RE-UP program aims to bring more modern and efficient equipment into people's homes, addressing the state's unforgiving climate.

The remaining $5 million will be distributed in late 2026, with plans for its use yet to be announced by Google. Amanda Peterson Corio, Global Head of Energy and Power at Google, emphasized the company's commitment to being a good neighbor and supporting Nevadans through their presence in the state.
