Equinix, Inc., a NASDAQ-listed digital infrastructure company, has signed its first power purchase agreement (PPA) in India with CleanMax. Under the agreement, the parties will collaborate to build 33 MW of renewable power plants in Maharashtra for consumption by Equinix’s growing portfolio of data centers in Mumbai.
The power projects, which comprise 26.4 MWp of solar capacity and 6.6 MW of wind capacity, are set to become operational in a phased manner in 2025.
Once fully operational, the projects will provide renewable energy coverage for Equinix’s International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers in Mumbai.
Manoj Paul, managing director, India, Equinix, said, “This PPA not only strengthens our commitment to sustainability but also enables us to provide our customers in India with 100% renewable energy coverage for their deployments at Equinix.”
With the addition of this new PPA in India, Equinix has now executed a total of 23 PPAs globally. These agreements are expected to contribute over 3,100,000 megawatt hours (MWhs) of renewable energy annually to local grids across the US, Australia, France, Finland, India, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Singapore once operational.
Following commencement of power supply to Equinix’s facility in Maharashtra, CleanMax intends to explore broader sustainability solutions for the digital infrastructure company’s upcoming AI-ready data centers across India and the globe.
