“As we embark on the construction phase, we do so proudly in the knowledge that we are accelerating Taiwan’s energy transition, advancing toward its goal to install 15 GW of additional offshore wind capacity between 2026 and 2035, and revitalising the communities in which we operate,” comments Mark Wainwright, CEO of Fengmiao I.

Since 2007, Google has operated as a carbon-neutral company, and since 2017, it has matched 100% of its global electricity use with renewable energy annually. 

Recognising that annual matching does not eliminate emissions, Google adopted its 24/7 CFE goal to better align supply with real-time demand.

By early 2024, Google had reached 66% hourly CFE across its global operations.
