Adani will provide clean energy for Google’s cloud operations in India

Google and Adani Group have joined forces in a clean energy partnership that aims to support both companies’ sustainability goals while adding more renewable energy to India’s power grid.

The announcement was made by Google at its ‘Google for India’ event and Adani provided additional details in the announcement.

Under this partnership, Adani will provide clean energy to power Google’s cloud operations in India.

The renewable energy will come from a new solar-wind hybrid project located in Khavda, Gujarat, which is home to the world’s largest renewable energy facility. This project is expected to begin commercial operations in the third quarter of 2025.

In a statement, the Adani Group highlighted the importance of this collaboration in helping Google achieve its 24/7 zero-emission energy goal. Google’s goal is to ensure that its cloud services and operations are powered entirely by clean energy by 2030.

“Through this partnership, Adani will provide clean energy from a new hybrid solar-wind project located at the world’s largest renewable power plant in Khavda, Gujarat. The commercial launch of this new project is expected to take place in the third quarter of 2025,” the Adani Group said.

The project will significantly strengthen Google’s sustainability plans by enabling it to more efficiently power its Indian operations while contributing to the development of clean energy in the region.

Google already powers most of its cloud operations with grid electricity and has committed to using only renewable energy sources by 2030. This partnership will help achieve this ambitious goal in India.

“With proven capabilities in large-scale wind, solar, hybrid and energy storage projects, Adani is well positioned to deliver tailored renewable energy solutions to commercial and industrial (C&I) customers to meet their energy requirements and reduce their footprint carbon, “mentioned edition.

The partnership is also expected to have a broader impact on India’s clean energy landscape.
