Black & Veatch subsidiary Diode Ventures is helping Google develop its first renewable energy project in Asia, a unusual solar farm in Taiwan featuring 40,000 solar panels built above fish ponds.
Diode helped put the deal together, which brings in Black & Veatch to provide owner’s engineering and construction management; Taiwan’s New Green Power to handle engineering, procurement and construction, as well as operations and maintenance for the project; and Enfinite Capital, which will assist with financing and asset management skills.
