Google has agreed to purchase renewable energy from Fengmiao I offshore wind project in Taiwan, developed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. This is the company’s first offshore wind purchase in Asia Pacific.
This is the first project from Taiwan’s Round 3.1 auction to achieve financial close. The $3 billion, 495 megawatt project is slated to become operational in 2027. It will provide power to support Google’s data center, cloud region and offices in Taiwan.
Google said it already has a portfolio of energy technologies in Taiwan, including solar and geothermal that “provide reliable, cost-effective energy to meet rising demand and bring us closer to running on 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) on every grid where we operate.”
