Google's recent announcement that it was providing grants to two renewable energy procurement advisors and consultants prompted renewed speculation Google itself may become an energy broker, per a story in MediaPost

Google announced two new grants from Google.org, "to provide further support for organizations that expand access to clean energy for all businesses -- from flower shops to big-box retailers to startups."

Google will provide a $500,000 grant to Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA) in the U.S. and a 500,000 euro grant to RE-Source in Europe.

"These grants will help fund the development of new purchasing models, provide training and resources for consumers, and enable more widespread access to clean power," Google said
