ARLINGTON, Va. -- Energix Renewables, a leader in the U.S. renewable energy sector and part of the Energix Group, a global leader in renewable energy, is proud to announce the signing of a strategic long-term agreement with Google. According to the agreement, initially covering 1.5GWp of solar project development until 2030 and with an option for future expansion, Energix will supply electricity and Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) generated from its solar projects to Google, a tax equity provider to Energix. This collaboration solidifies Energix's position as a leading player in the U.S. renewable energy market, particularly within PJM.

The agreement guarantees a market-adjusted price with a downside protection mechanism for energy, competitive REC pricing, and tax equity investments for Energix's projects. This agreement strengthens Energix's capacity to develop its pipeline of projects in PJM, contributing to the execution of Energix's long-term strategic plan. The parties already signed the first two PPAs under this agreement.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as sole financial advisor to Energix during the negotiation of this strategic agreement with Google.

Asa (Asi) Levinger, CEO of the Energix Group, commented: "We are thrilled to embark on this strategic collaboration with Google. This agreement underscores our leadership in the U.S. renewable energy market, enabling us to leverage our unique expertise and resources for unparalleled growth and advancing Google towards its net zero and 24/7 carbon-free energy ambitions. This joint effort with Google not only strengthens our position in the PJM market but also opens up opportunities for future expansion into other power markets, we expect to deliver the 1.5GW in the next 2-3 years. This framework agreement is the latest addition to the company's array of strategic agreements, and along with our global framework agreement with First Solar and collaborations with leading banks worldwide, we are well-positioned to leverage the U.S. market for growth and value-creation for all our stakeholders. I want to thank Google, Morgan Stanley, and all our employees who worked diligently to make this deal happen."

"There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to decarbonizing our electricity grids and no one company can do it on their own. We are proud of our work with Energix Renewables to unlock new clean energy in PJM. This type of collaboration is essential as we continue to progress towards our ambition to run on 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) on every grid where we operate every hour of every day." (Amanda Peterson Corio, Global Head of Data Center Energy, Google)

Itamar Sarussi, Deputy CEO and CCO of Energix US, also highlighted: "This announcement heralds a transformative era in renewable energy. The visionary structure of this agreement ensures mutually beneficial outcomes that should enhance shareholder value for both companies, driving forward the renewable energy revolution."

"This agreement underscores the importance of collaboration among market leaders across sectors to meet the goals of energy transition and the power needs of transformative technology, such as AI applications and the datacenters that house them." Jorge Iragorri, Managing Director, Morgan Stanley & Co.
