Meanwhile, Google has made a big splash with its groundbreaking agreement with energyRe. Collectively, they will build the Fengmiao 1 wind farm in Taiwan, their second partnership. This clean energy initiative will produce over 1 GW of new clean energy capacity. It jibes with Google’s ambition to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across all of its operations by 2030.
The Fengmiao 1 wind farm is expected to be online by 2027. This will make it critical in helping fortify Taiwan’s emerging offshore wind power industry. This exciting project will accelerate the region’s transition away from dirty energy sources. Most importantly, it is designed to address the increasing demand for clean energy technology.
The collaboration is a testament to the two companies’ commitment to supporting the growth of renewable energy. Google has made great strides in trying to improve its sustainability efforts and lower its overall carbon footprint. This joint effort addresses one critical and growing area—how we power data centers most efficiently and effectively. It will spur job creation and economic development in South Carolina and well beyond.
“Strengthening the grid by deploying more reliable and clean energy is crucial for supporting the digital infrastructure that businesses and individuals depend on. Our collaboration with energyRe will help power our data centres and the broader economic growth of South Carolina.” – Amanda Peterson Corio
