Google has inked a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) in Taiwan. Under this agreement, Google will purchase renewable energy from the Fengmiao I offshore wind project. The project is situated in Taiwan and is developed by CIP.
The project is expected to be operational in 2027. Furthermore, once operational, it will provide reliable power to support Google’s data center, cloud region, and offices in Taiwan. The project was the first from Taiwan’s Round 3.1 auction to achieve financial close. This is Google’s first offshore wind PPA in Asia Pacific.
Earlier in December 2024, CIP inked a PPA with Google through its Energy Transition Fund I in the Netherlands. As part of this agreement, Google will purchase 250 MW of wind energy from the Zeevonk project to support its operations in the Dutch region for a period of 15 years.
REGlobal’s Views: Google is a major procurer of renewable energy across the globe and one of the largest corporate procurers of clean energy. It is increasing the share of renewable energy in its energy mix to ultimately reach its goals of 100 per cent clean power by 2030 for its data centers, which are highly energy intensive.
