Facebook partners with CleanMax to go 100% renewable in India

Facebook and CleanMax today announced a partnership to support Facebook’s sustainability ambitions in India with renewable power from solar and wind energy facilities set up by CleanMax, India’s leading B2B renewable energy provider.

Under the agreement, Facebook and CleanMax are to assemble a portfolio of solar and wind energy projects supplying renewable energy solutions into India’s electrical grid, in states where Facebook facilities are also present. The first project to be brought online in the agreement is a 32MW wind project located in Karnataka, India. While CleanMax will own and operate the projects, Facebook will provide long-term support by committing to purchase 100% of the environmental attribute certificates (EACs) from the projects for years to come.
