EnergyRe, an American-led developer of large-scale renewable energy projects, has signed a renewable energy agreement with Google, allowing Google to invest in and purchase Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from a portfolio of more than 600 MW of new solar and solar with storage projects.

It is being developed by energyRe in South Carolina. This agreement marks Google's second collaboration with energyRe, which combined will enable over 1 GWac of new clean capacity to the grid.

Partnership Details

The agreement supports both the region's energy needs with locally sourced renewable energy and Google's commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions across its operations and value chain by 2030. Google's collaboration with energyRe will help power its data centers and the broader economic growth of South Carolina.

Renewable Energy Goals

The new agreement will also contribute to Google's commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions across its operations and value chain by 2030. In 2020, Google's parent company Alphabet announced a 24/7 CFE ambition, aiming to run its entire business on carbon-free energy by 2030.

The partnership between Google and energyRe brings the total U.S. clean energy capacity enabled by their collaboration to over 1 GW, following a 12-year PPA signed by the companies in October 2024. This development is a significant step towards advancing Google's ambitious sustainability and decarbonization objectives.
