The agreement will see the development of 837 MW of new solar and wind projects across Rajasthan and Karnataka
Meta Platforms and CleanMax have struck a major renewable energy partnership in India, committing to around 900 MW of clean power capacity as global tech demand continues to reshape the country’s energy landscape.
The agreement will see the development of 837 MW of new solar and wind projects across Rajasthan and Karnataka, forming the core of the expanded collaboration. Including earlier commitments, the partnership now exceeds 900 MW of renewable energy capacity.
CleanMax will build and operate the projects, while Meta will purchase 100% of the environmental attributes generated from the new capacity. The move is aimed at helping Meta match its electricity consumption with 100% clean and renewable energy and reduce value chain emissions in the region.
“CleanMax's renewable energy projects support Meta's efforts to add new generation to the grid, advance its goal of matching its electricity use with 100% clean and renewable energy, and will help address Meta’s value chain emissions in the region.”
The companies say the deal reflects a broader shift toward corporate-led energy procurement models that are accelerating India’s transition to renewables.
Kuldeep Jain, Founder and Managing Director of Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Limited, said, “Meta connects billions of people every day through platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads while helping shape the future of digital and AI infrastructure.
"We are thrilled to partner with Meta. Every generation builds infrastructure that defines its future. For us, that infrastructure is increasingly digital, AI-driven and interconnected. It must also be powered by clean energy. We look forward to supporting Meta's renewable energy ambitions while contributing to India's clean energy transition.”
Amanda Yang, Head of Clean and Renewable Energy at Meta, said: “These agreements represent meaningful progress in supporting our renewable energy goals in the region. We're pleased to continue working with CleanMax to help bring new renewable energy capacity onto the grid in India and support the growth of the country's clean energy ecosystem.”
CleanMax, one of India’s largest commercial and industrial renewable energy developers, says the partnership further strengthens its role as a long-term decarbonization partner for major corporate clients. The company reports a contracted renewable portfolio of 5.7 GW in FY 2025–26, with strong customer retention and growing demand from data centres and AI infrastructure.
As digital infrastructure expands rapidly, both companies frame the deal as part of a wider convergence between technology growth and clean energy investment in India.
