Adani to Power Google's Indian Cloud Operations

3 Oct 2024 , 02:36 PM

Adani Group will provide sustainable energy to power Google’s cloud services and operations in India, the ports-to-power giant announced on Thursday.

The move comes after a recent research revealed a considerable increase in Google’s emissions over the last five years as a result of the internet giant’s investment in artificial intelligence.

Adani Group, headed by Gautam Adani, will deliver energy from a new solar-wind hybrid project at its 30 gigawatt (GW) Khavda renewable energy facility in Gujarat, according to a statement.

The solar-wind hybrid project will begin commercial operation in the third quarter of 2025.

The majority of Google’s cloud operations and services are powered by grid electricity, and the company expects to run them fully on renewable energy by 2030.

Google announced on Thursday that it has inked two long-term collaborations to contribute 186 megawatts (MW) of clean energy to India’s grid by 2026.
