Technology company Google has partnered with clean energy companies Adani Group and CleanMax Enviro Energy Solutions (CleanMax) to power its offices in India with renewable energy.

Under the agreement, CleanMax will develop a 125.4 MW wind-solar hybrid project for Google. The project comprises 66 MW of solar power in Rajasthan and 59.4 MW of wind power in Karnataka.

These projects are expected to start commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 and generate an estimated 350,000 million kWh of carbon-free energy annually. The projects will be connected to India’s national grid.

The two companies said the projects will support the decarbonization of Google’s cloud services and offices across India, aligning with Google’s goal to run on 24/7 carbon-free energy on every grid where it operates by 2030.

Currently, CleanMax has an operating renewable energy portfolio of 2 GW.

In 2022, Meta partnered with CleanMax to invest in 33.8 MW of new renewable energy projects in India. Under the partnership, CleanMax was to own and operate the projects, with Meta purchasing 100% of the green attributes from the projects.

In April 2024, Apple announced a joint venture with CleanMax to power its operations in India with renewable energy. As part of the project, CleanMax installed 14.4 MW of rooftop solar projects across six industrial sites in India. The projects will power Apple’s offices, its two retail stores in the country, and other operations.

Meanwhile, the Adani Group also announced it would supply clean energy from a new wind-solar hybrid project in Khavda, Gujarat, where it is developing a 30 GW renewable energy park. This project is expected to start commercial operations in the third quarter of 2025.

“This innovative collaboration will help advance Google’s 24/7 carbon-free energy goal by ensuring cloud services and operations in India are supported by clean energy and thereby contribute to the sustainable growth of Google in India,” Adani said.
