Google Expands Renewable Energy Portfolio with Offshore Wind Deal in Taiwan

Google has announced its first offshore wind power purchase agreement (PPA) in Asia. The search engine giant has signed an agreement to purchase renewable energy from a new Taiwanese wind farm. Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) is in charge of developing the project.

Expanding Google’s Clean Energy Footprint in Taiwan

This latest agreement builds on Google’s ongoing push in Taiwan’s renewable energy space. Last year, the company partnered with BlackRock to invest in New Green Power—sourcing solar energy from its pipeline. Just last week, Google also signed a geothermal energy deal with Baseload Capital.

Together, these projects contribute to Google's broader clean energy roadmap, which aims to power all operations on 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) by 2030. That includes matching every hour of electricity demand with carbon-free sources, in every region where the company operates.

Details of the Offshore Wind Deal

Under the new PPA, Google will purchase energy from CIP’s 495 MW Fengmiao I offshore wind project. The wind farm, expected to go live in 2027, will supply power to Google’s Taiwan-based infrastructure—including its data center, local cloud region, and offices.

This is the second offshore wind deal between Google and CIP. The agreement was signed through CIP’s CI V flagship fund, which focuses on low-risk energy transition investments. The fund recently raised over €12 billion at its final close.

A Step Toward Taiwan’s Clean Energy Future

I-Chun Hsiao, Senior Lead for APAC Energy and Infrastructure at Google, called Fengmiao I a “key catalyst” for Taiwan’s offshore wind sector.

Starting in 2027, the project is expected to supply power to Google’s data center, cloud region, and offices in Taiwan. According to I-Chun Hsiao, Senior Lead for APAC Energy and Infrastructure at Google, the integration of offshore wind with the company’s existing solar and geothermal projects will support its 24/7 carbon-free energy target, while also contributing to Taiwan’s growing energy demands.
