October 7, 2024The Adani Group and Google have announced a new partnership aimed at advancing sustainability efforts and promoting the growth of clean energy in India. According to a press release on Thursday, Adani Group will supply renewable energy from a solar-wind hybrid project located in Khavda, Gujarat, home to the world’s largest renewable energy facility. The project is set to begin commercial operations in the third quarter of 2025.
Adani, with its proven expertise in large-scale renewable projects, including wind, solar, hybrid, and energy storage, is well-positioned to deliver customized energy solutions for commercial and industrial (C&I) clients. The group’s focus is on helping industries meet their energy needs while lowering carbon emissions. Moving forward, Adani plans to expand its presence in the merchant and C&I sectors, a critical step toward decarbonizing various industries.
This collaboration also aligns with Google’s ambitious goal to achieve 24/7 carbon-free energy for its global operations. Google is committed to reducing its combined Scope 1, 2, and 3 absolute emissions by 50% by 2030, an initiative launched in 2019.
By harnessing India’s clean energy sources, the partnership aims to power Google’s cloud services and operations with renewable energy, supporting the tech giant’s sustainable growth in the region.
Additionally, a report from Reuters earlier today noted that a unit of Adani Green Energy Ltd had signed an agreement to supply green energy to a commercial and industrial customer. Under this agreement, Adani Renewable Energy Three Ltd will provide electricity from a newly established 61.4 MW renewable energy facility in Khavda, according to an exchange filing.
