Google Invests in Taiwanese Solar Firm to Drive Renewable Energy

The tech giant partners with BlackRock's New Green Power to develop a 1 GW solar pipeline, aiming to cut emissions and support semiconductor suppliers.

Google's investment in New Green Power targets a 1 gigawatt solar energy pipeline in Taiwan.
The initiative supports Google's net-zero emissions goal by 2030 and aims to decarbonize its supply chain.
Up to 300 megawatts of solar power will be used for Google's data centers and offered to chip manufacturers.
Taiwan's heavy reliance on fossil fuels highlights the need for renewable energy projects.
Regulatory approval is pending for the investment, which aligns with broader renewable energy trends in Asia-Pacific.
