08 Oct 2024 CW Team
Global tech giant Google has partnered with Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions (CleanMax), a Brookfield-backed firm, to enhance its clean energy footprint in India. As part of this collaboration, CleanMax will develop a 125.4 MW hybrid project, featuring 66 MW of solar capacity in Rajasthan and 59.4 MW of wind capacity in Karnataka.
These projects will be integrated into India’s national grid to support Google’s efforts to decarbonize its cloud services and offices across the country. This initiative aligns with Google's broader goal of operating on 24/7 carbon-free energy across all its global facilities by 2030.
“This collaboration with Google sets a new benchmark for environmental leadership and underscores our shared commitment to combating climate change,” said Kuldeep Jain, Managing Director, CleanMax.
Giorgio Fortunato, Head of Clean Energy & Power for Asia Pacific at Google, added, “We believe that strategic partnerships like this are essential to driving real impact and advancing resilient low-carbon systems to ensure our operations remain sustainable.”
