Meta Expands Renewable Energy Push With CleanMax Partnership
Meta Platforms and CleanMax Enviro Energy Solutions have announced a strategic partnership to develop more than 900 MW of renewable energy capacity in India, strengthening the technology giant’s commitment to powering its operations with clean energy.
Under the agreement, CleanMax will develop and operate 837 MW of new solar and wind projects across Rajasthan and Karnataka. Combined with projects announced earlier, the partnership now represents over 900 MW of renewable energy capacity dedicated to supporting Meta’s sustainability goals in India.
The collaboration comes as global technology companies accelerate investments in renewable energy to meet the growing power demands of data centres, cloud infrastructure, and artificial intelligence operations.
New Solar And Wind Projects Planned Across Rajasthan And Karnataka
As part of the partnership, CleanMax will build a portfolio of utility-scale renewable energy projects across two of India’s leading clean energy states.
The projects will comprise both solar and wind generation assets, helping add significant renewable power capacity to the national grid while supporting the country’s broader clean energy transition.
Meta will purchase 100 per cent of the environmental attributes generated from these projects, allowing the company to advance its objective of matching its electricity consumption with clean and renewable energy sources.
The renewable energy generated through these projects will also contribute toward reducing Meta’s value-chain emissions in the region.
Supporting AI And Digital Infrastructure Growth
The announcement highlights the increasing intersection between renewable energy and digital infrastructure.
With artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and social media platforms requiring substantial computing power, technology firms are becoming some of the largest buyers of renewable energy globally.
Meta, which operates platforms including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads, has been steadily expanding its clean energy portfolio worldwide to support the growing energy requirements of its digital ecosystem.
The company views renewable energy procurement as a key component of its long-term sustainability and operational strategy.
CleanMax Sees Opportunity In Growing Digital Economy
Commenting on the partnership, CleanMax Founder and Managing Director Kuldeep Jain said the collaboration reflects the growing importance of clean energy in supporting next-generation digital infrastructure.
He noted that Meta connects billions of users worldwide and continues to play a major role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence and digital technologies.
According to Jain, the partnership will contribute meaningfully to India’s renewable energy ecosystem while helping Meta achieve its environmental objectives.
India Emerges As Key Renewable Energy Destination
The latest agreement further reinforces India’s position as a major destination for renewable energy investment.
Rajasthan and Karnataka have emerged as renewable energy hubs due to their abundant solar and wind resources, attracting significant domestic and international investment.
As India continues to expand its clean energy capacity, partnerships between technology companies and renewable energy developers are expected to become increasingly common.
Amanda Yang, Head of Clean and Renewable Energy at Meta, said the agreements represent meaningful progress toward the company’s renewable energy goals in the region.
The partnership underscores how global technology firms are increasingly aligning sustainability initiatives with infrastructure expansion, creating new opportunities for renewable energy growth while supporting the rapid rise of AI-driven digital services.
