Support a clean energy future, right from your home.
Want to do more to address climate change? Nest Renew offers a simple place to start. This new service for your compatible Nest thermostat1 is rolling out in early preview by invitation.
When we each do a little, it adds up to a lot.
As more people join Nest Renew, and as more renewable energy sources are created, the more our whole planet benefits.
did you know?
Running a ceiling fan in an empty room won’t cool it down. In fact, the room may warm up, because the fan’s motor generates heat. Fans only cool people when they blow air on them.
Offering your home a way to make an impact.
Nest Renew Basic will be free to join, and for those who want to make an even bigger impact, Premium will be available in select markets for only $10 a month.2 Renew is rolling out in early preview by invitation over the coming weeks.

Invited customers with a compatible Nest thermostat. Nest Renew requires a 3rd generation Nest Learning Thermostat, Nest Thermostat E, or the newest Nest Thermostat, connected to a Google account (Sold separately). If you’re unsure which Nest thermostat you have, click here to learn more.
Over the last decade we’ve learned a lot from Nest thermostat customers and our energy industry partners. We are launching Nest Renew as an early preview to get feedback from both groups so we can ensure high quality and continue to iterate on core technology and features. Given the urgency of climate change, every action counts, so we wanted to get started now and begin collecting feedback.
Basic: Customers with compatible Nest thermostats can join for free,1 and Nest Renew helps you understand when energy coming into your home is cleaner, and when it’s not so clean, so you can decide to use electricity at a more informed time.4 Renew Basic also includes Energy Shift3, a feature that works with your compatible Nest thermostat to help you automatically prioritize usage of cleaner4 or less expensive7 energy. You’ll also get access to monthly challenges, energy saving tips, and the ability to extend your positive impact by directing Nest Renew funds to nonprofit partners through the Energy Impact Program.
Premium: Nest Renew Premium costs $10 a month and is only available in select locations.2 You’ll get access to everything included with Renew Basic, plus additional features, such as Clean Energy Match, that matches the estimated fossil fuel electricity your home consumes with clean energy from US wind and solar plants.10 Plus, you’ll get one easy-to-read monthly bill that includes your Nest Renew monthly cost and your usual utility charges.9

No, Nest Renew does not replace your utility company. It is a service from Google that complements the electric service you receive from your local utility. Nest Renew does not require you to switch utility providers or make changes to your electric or gas service.
If your utility company offers a clean energy option, you should consider signing up for it. Only your utility company can provide you with the electricity that powers your home. Some of them are even working to make sure that the clean energy they provide customers is produced within their region. Nest Renew is complementary and not an alternative to clean energy options from your utility.
Nest Renew will be purchasing RECs from wind and solar plants in the United States.2,5 During preview, these RECs will come from our flagship project Bethel Wind in Castro County, TX, which was contracted by Google based on stringent clean energy requirements. Learn more about our REC purchases.
Customers can track their progress and impact in Nest Renew’s new monthly impact emails or check any time at nestrenew.google.com, which can be easily accessed from settings in either the Nest or Google Home apps.
Carbon neutral since 2007.
Carbon free by 2030.
