Google has finalized a renewable energy agreement with energyRe,securing over 600 megawatts of solar and solar-plus-storage projects in South Carolina,USA.This marks the second collaboration between the two companies,adding more than 1 gigawatt of clean energy capacity to support Google’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2030.
Amanda Peterson Corio,Google’s head of data center energy,stated:“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 centers and the broader economic growth of South Carolina.”
The partnership with energyRe focuses on meeting local energy demands with renewable sources,reinforcing Google’s commitment to sustainable practices.The agreement supports South Carolina’s energy needs while promoting economic development through clean energy initiatives.
energyRe’s portfolio includes large-scale solar,wind,and storage projects aimed at improving grid reliability,reducing costs,and addressing rising electricity consumption.The company’s CEO,Miguel Prado,remarked:“This agreement is a milestone in energyRe’s mission to develop innovative and impactful clean energy solutions for the future.We’re honored to partner with Google to help advance their ambitious sustainability and decarbonization objectives while delivering dependable,locally sourced clean energy to meet growing energy demands.”
In a separate development,Google signed a power purchase agreement in April 2025 with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners for renewable energy from the Fengmiao 1 offshore wind farm in Taiwan.This deal,Google’s first offshore wind agreement in the region,will supply its Taiwan facilities with cost-effective,carbon-free electricity by 2027.
The Fengmiao 1 wind farm is expected to play a significant role in Taiwan’s offshore wind sector,contributing to the region’s transition to clean energy.These initiatives reflect Google’s broader strategy to power its global operations with renewable energy while supporting local consumption and sustainability goals.
