Alphabet Incorporation’s Google has signed a power purchase agreement to procure electricity from a 30 MW solar photovoltaic project in Malaysia, developed by a consortium led by a local unit of Japan-based Shizen Energy Incorporation. The agreement supports Google’s efforts to source clean energy for its regional operations and data centre footprint.
The solar project is located in Kedah state and is being developed under Malaysia’s green power framework for corporate energy procurement. The facility is expected to commence commercial operations in 2027 and will supply renewable electricity directly to Google under a long-term offtake arrangement.
The project forms part of Malaysia’s broader strategy to attract global technology companies by expanding access to renewable energy and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. For Google, the deal contributes to its global target of operating on 24/7 carbon-free energy, particularly in Asia-Pacific markets where grid decarbonisation remains challenging.
