Facebook has signed a deal to buy renewable energy in India from a local firm's wind power project.
The 32 MW wind power project, located in Karnataka, is part of a larger portfolio of wind and solar projects that Facebook and Mumbai-based CleanMax are working together for supplying renewable power into India's electrical grid.
CleanMax will own and operate the projects, while Facebook will buy the power off the grid using environmental attribute certificates, or carbon credits.
In Singapore, Facebook has announced similar partnerships with energy providers Sunseap Group, Terrenus Energy and Sembcorp Industries on projects that can produce 160 MW of solar power.
The electricity generated from these plants will power the tech giant's first Asian data centre that is set to start operations in 2022.
