Facebook partners with CleanMax to supply RE to India’s grid

Facebook has partnered with Mumbai-based clean energy company, CleanMax, to set up a 32 MW wind power project in Karnataka, its first renewable energy deal in India.

While CleanMax will own and operate the project, Facebook will buy power off the grid through environmental attribute certificates. Located in the southern state of Karnataka, the 32 MW wind power project is part of a larger portfolio of wind solar hybrid projects that Facebook and CleanMax are working on together to supply renewable power into India's electrical grid, the two companies told the media in a joint statement.
