Google Partners with ReNew to Develop 150MW Solar Plant in India

Google has partnered with global renewable developer ReNew Energy to develop a 150MW solar project in Rajasthan, India. Under the terms of the agreement, Google will receive the associated environmental attribute certificates (EACs) generated by the project and allocate them to its Scope 3 emission reduction efforts.

“Our aim is for this to serve as a market catalyst, demonstrating a pathway for companies to credibly address value chain emissions even without full supply chain data transparency,” said Vrushali Gaud, director, climate operations, Google.

“This partnership with Google reflects the growing global confidence in India’s clean energy ecosystem and ReNew’s ability to deliver climate-positive solutions at scale," said Vaishali Nigam Sinha, co-founder and chairperson, sustainability at ReNew.

"Long-term agreements of this kind are catalytic, they enable new renewable capacity, support India’s energy transition, and help global companies meet ambitious sustainability commitments. We are proud to work with Google on a model that sets a powerful precedent for credible, high-impact climate action."
