Why not?
At this point optimising their electricity cost by load balancing their compute to where electricity is cheap, free or negative on a minute by minute basis would be a sizeable cost saving. Savings that would possibly offset the hardware overprovisioning that they would need.

If it has been too long between power outages Google will cause one intentionally, as an exercise.
