Google is committing $25 billion over the next two years to build out artificial intelligence infrastructure in the Mid-Atlantic and beyond, marking one of its largest regional investments to date. The announcement will be made at the Pennsylvania Energy & Innovation Summit, where Google will also unveil a $3 billion agreement to purchase hydroelectric power from Brookfield Asset Management. 

As part of that deal, Google will help modernize two Brookfield facilities to support its goal of running operations on 24/7 carbon-free energy. Alphabet’s chief investment officer Ruth Porat emphasized that the investments will expand clean energy access and help train Americans for careers in the AI-driven economy. 

President Trump and other key leaders will attend the summit at Carnegie Mellon University, underscoring the federal government’s alignment with AI infrastructure expansion. Meanwhile, AI firm CoreWeave is also expected to announce a $6 billion data center in Pennsylvania, highlighting growing private-sector momentum in the region’s tech transformation.
