Google Inks Solar Power Deal With Japan's Shizen Energy in Malaysia
Google has signed a solar power-purchase agreement with Japan's Shizen Energy in Malaysia. The deal involves a 30-megawatt solar plant in Kedah, expected to start in 2027, supporting Google's carbon-free energy goals and Malaysia's renewable energy target. This marks Shizen's first utility-scale project in Malaysia, contributing to its Southeast Asia growth strategy. Google's emissions have risen 51% since 2019 due to AI needs, but its AI systems are becoming more energy-efficient.
