How to interpret this record. Google’s official location page describes an operating data center. This status applies to the listed site; expansions may be at a different stage. Capacity is an estimate of IT power, not metered electricity consumption. Project information comes from operator publications. Those claims have not been independently audited.

What the operator says about water

Google describes cooling with water from an industrial canal. Annual withdrawal and consumption still need a dated, site-specific source.

Water-information request

Hello,

I am seeking publicly shareable information about water use at Google St. Ghislain in St. Ghislain, Belgium. Could you please share the following for this specific project?

1. The latest annual water withdrawal and water consumption, with units and reporting period. Please distinguish measured use from projections, and site totals from cooling-only figures.
2. Water sources (drinking water, reclaimed/industrial water, rainwater or seawater), cooling method, and any seasonal or peak-day demand figures.
3. How water demand is managed during drought or supply restrictions, and where treated water is discharged or reused.
4. Links to relevant water permits, environmental assessments and public monitoring reports, including the responsible authority.

If the project is still in development, projected figures and their assumptions would be helpful. If information is unavailable, please identify what is not disclosed and whether another team can help.

Thank you for helping make this information accessible.

Best regards,
[Your name]
