This collaboration, announced by Google at the 'Google for India' event and further detailed by Adani in a press release, will see Adani supplying clean energy to power Google's cloud operations within India.
The renewable energy source for this endeavor will be a new solar-wind hybrid project located at Khavda, Gujarat, a region renowned for hosting the world's largest renewable energy facility. This project is scheduled to commence commercial operations in the third quarter of 2025. The Adani Group has emphasized the pivotal role of this collaboration in aiding Google's pursuit of its ambitious 24/7 carbon-free energy objective. Google has set a target to ensure that its cloud services and operations are powered entirely by clean energy by 2030.
This strategic alliance represents a significant step forward for both Google's sustainability plans and India's clean energy landscape. The project will enable Google to power its Indian operations more efficiently, contributing to the region's growing renewable energy sector. The partnership marks a notable stride towards Google's global goal of achieving 100% renewable energy for its operations by 2030. Adani, with its demonstrated expertise in large-scale wind, solar, hybrid, and energy storage projects, is well-equipped to provide customized renewable energy solutions to meet the energy requirements and carbon reduction goals of commercial and industrial clients.
