Google has signed a landmark offshore wind power purchase agreement (PPA) in Taiwan, marking its first such deal in the Asia Pacific region and a significant stride toward its goal of running entirely on carbon-free energy, 24/7, by 2030.
The agreement commits Google to purchasing clean electricity from the 495 MW Fengmiao I offshore wind project, developed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP). Scheduled to begin operations in 2027, Fengmiao I is the first project from Taiwan’s Round 3.1 auction to reach financial close, underscoring its importance in catalyzing the island’s offshore wind industry.
“This project will help power our data center, cloud region, and offices in Taiwan,” said I-Chun Hsiao, Senior Lead for APAC at Google Energy and Infrastructure. “By integrating offshore wind with our existing solar and geothermal projects, we’re advancing our 24/7 carbon-free energy goal while helping Taiwan bring on new energy resources to help meet electricity demand.”
The PPA deepens Google’s collaboration with CIP and is their second offshore wind initiative together. It is being executed through CIP’s CI V fund, which recently closed with €12 billion (USD $13.1 billion) in capital aimed at supporting clean energy transition projects in stable, low-risk markets.
This deal complements Google’s existing clean energy investments in Taiwan, which include a geothermal energy agreement with Baseload Capital and a solar partnership with BlackRock. These projects collectively support Google’s broader sustainability strategy to decarbonize its operations across the globe.
The company’s 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) strategy, introduced in 2020 by parent company Alphabet, seeks to match every hour of electricity use with clean energy production—setting a bold benchmark for corporate climate action.
