Adani Group and Google Collaborate to Boost Clean Energy Adoption in India

The Adani Group and Google have announced a partnership aimed at enhancing their sustainability goals and increasing the amount of clean energy supplied to India’s national grid.

Under this collaboration, the Adani Group will provide clean energy from a new solar-wind hybrid project located at Gujarat’s Khavda, which houses the world’s largest renewable energy plant. The project is expected to commence commercial operations in the third quarter of 2025.

With extensive experience in delivering large-scale wind, solar, hybrid, and energy storage projects, the Adani Group is well-equipped to offer tailored renewable energy solutions to commercial and industrial clients, helping them meet energy demands while reducing their carbon footprints. The Group aims to focus more on merchant, commercial, and industrial sectors to facilitate the decarbonization of industries.

“This innovative collaboration will help advance Google’s goal of 24/7 carbon-free energy by ensuring that cloud services and operations in India are powered by clean energy, contributing to Google’s sustainable growth in the region,” the company stated.

The announcement came during the 10th anniversary of the ‘Google for India’ initiative. “We’re partnering with Adani to procure bundled energy solutions and further the decarbonization of Google’s cloud services in India,” Google added.

The Adani Group, which has interests spanning energy, transport and logistics (including seaports, airports, shipping, and rail), natural resources, and consumer sectors, has established itself as a leader in the market. Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), part of the Group, is the largest renewable energy company in India and among the leaders globally, facilitating the transition to clean energy through the development, ownership, and operation of utility-scale grid-connected solar, wind, hybrid, and hydro-pumped storage power plants.
