Facebook and CleanMax on Thursday announced a partnership to support renewable power from wind and solar facilities in India.

“We’re excited to announce this important step that is helping us support our operations in the region, including our offices in India, with 100 per cent renewable energy,” Urvi Parekh, Head of renewable energy at Facebook said in a statement.

Under the agreement, Facebook and CleanMax will assemble a portfolio of wind and solar projects supplying renewable power into India’s electrical grid.
