Google India has partnered with Adani Group to power its cloud operations using renewable energy, supporting its goal of achieving 24/7 carbon-free energy by 2030.
An essential step toward sustainability goals is Google India’s partnering with Adani Group to run its cloud operations with clean energy. This partnership aligns with Google’s worldwide ambitions to run all its data centres and cloud services on carbon-free energy by 2030. Clean energy from a solar-wind hybrid project located at Khavda, Gujarat, which has the largest renewable energy plant in the world, will be supplied to Google through Adani’s partnership. The project is slated to achieve commercial operations by the third quarter of 2025.
A Green Collaboration
This clean energy partnership is a landmark move for Google and Adani towards their green commitment. Announced at the “Google for India” event, Adani revealed further details of this initiative in a press release. Leveraging Adani’s expertise in large-scale solar, wind, and hybrid energy projects, Google wants to greenify its cloud operations in India.
This partnership will help Google meet its 24/7 carbon-free energy goal, ensuring that its cloud services and operations in India are powered entirely by renewable energy sources, confirms the Adani Group. This moves alongside Google’s broader goal of global decarbonisation and making its operations more sustainable in the long term.
The Future of Renewable Energy in India
Adani’s new renewable energy project in Khavda, Gujarat, awaits to alter the energy landscape in India. This solar and wind-conjoined plant will also offer tailor-made renewable solutions suiting the energy requirements of customers like Google and other commercial and industrial industries. The company’s focus on providing clean energy for the commercial sector underlines India’s current stand on the verge of becoming a global leader in renewable energy.
The project’s hybrid nature ensures a continuous supply of clean energy day and night, enhancing the energy source’s reliability. This is crucial for powering cloud operations that require round-the-clock energy. Adani’s emphasis on the larger implication of this partnership, in substantially helping Google’s sustainability goals and boosting India’s adoption of renewable energy, instils confidence in the reliability and sustainability of the operations.
Google has already made great strides in powering its cloud operations globally with renewable energy. The tie-up with Adani is adding synergy to its goals in India, where demand for cloud services is booming. The tech giant is zealous to start therein working directly with Indian cloud clients to provide sustainable energy solutions and join a growing chorus of voices for greener offerings.
Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, explained the company’s devotion to sustainability: “We’re carefully running our business in an environmentally sustainable way and are accelerating the global transition to clean energy.” This partnership with Adani underpins Google’s global effort toward innovation and sustainability.
Due to commence in 2025, the two companies are entering into a partnership set to substantially contribute to India’s clean energy future. A leader in the commercialisation of renewable energy joined hands with Google in their plans to sustain the environment for cloud services; in essence, this is India’s clean energy migration. The positioning of both organisations will possibly provide for other technology giants to follow, hence going forward, in a bid to decarbonise both in India and globally.
This development thus reflects India’s increasing stake as a relevant player in the global clean energy space, with large-scale projects like Khavda gradually opening the way for a cleaner future.
