Energix signs long-term solar power deal with Google
Aug 20, 2024 11:42 AM

(Reuters) - Energix Renewables said on Tuesday it has signed a long term agreement with Alphabet's Google to supply electricity and renewable energy credits generated from its solar projects to the tech giant.

To power their rapidly expanding AI data centers, major technology firms like Google are increasingly negotiating electricity supply agreements with energy providers.

Energix will initially supply 1.5 gigawatt peak of solar project development until 2030, with an option to further expand the partnership.

The tech giant will also offer tax equity, enabling the transfer of renewable energy credits under President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, to Energix.

Under the act, corporate entities can acquire these credits, supporting the development of clean energy storage projects across the United States.

Morgan Stanley acted as the sole financial advisor to Energix for the agreement.
