Taiwan, widely recognized for its critical role in tech and semiconductor manufacturing, is a strategic location for this initiative. By developing solar energy projects in Taiwan, Google meets its energy needs and supports Taiwan’s expanding renewable energy sector. This investment is a key part of Google’s bigger plan to support global sustainability and cut down on carbon emissions.

Through its Climate Infrastructure fund, BlackRock continues to invest in renewable energy projects around the globe. Recently, the company committed 500 million dollars to Recurrent Energy, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar. 
Recurrent Energy will use these funds to expand its projects and initiatives, moving from merely developing projects to owning and operating them long-term, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. This strategy is meant to create a diverse portfolio that ensures continuous, long-term revenue while advancing the worldwide shift to renewable energy.

BlackRock’s Global Head of Climate Infrastructure, David Giordano, noted that the partnership with Google aligns well with their goal of investing in renewable power and infrastructure that supports global energy transition. 
This collaboration is anticipated to improve Taiwan’s renewable energy sector, creating jobs and boosting green energy infrastructure, while supporting global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and transition to cleaner energy sources.
