CtrlS Datacenters Ltd, a datacenter operator, has unveiled its 125 MWp captive solar farm GreenVolt 1 in Nagpur, Maharashtra.
Located in Nagpur, Maharashtra, the 125 MWp solar farm will power 60% of CtrlS’ Mumbai datacenter campus with clean energy. With this, enterprises hosted at CtrlS Mumbai Datacenter Campus can achieve their Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by offsetting their carbon footprint.
Phase I of the solar farm with a capacity of 62.5 MWp already went live in June 2024. The plant uses n-type panels, delivering more energy with reduced land requirements and ensuring high efficiency in energy production. Phase II with an additional capacity of 62.5 MWp is under implementation.
Phase 1 powers 30% of CtrlS Mumbai Datacenter Campus with solar energy, which will be further scaled to 60% with the completion of Phase 2 solar capacity of 62.5 MWp.
CtrlS GreenVolt 1 is spread over 340 acres of land.
CtrlS plans to develop over 1 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 across India, including ongoing investments in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Karnataka.
Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Founder & CEO, CtrlS Datacenters, said, “GreenVolt 1 will power CtrlS datacenters both existing and upcoming, which we believe will set a new benchmark in the Indian datacenter industry. We are committed to scaling our DC capacity to over 1 GW and our GreenVolt solar farm is a major step towards doing that sustainably.”
CtrlS Datacenters Ltd, which began its operations in 2007, operates 15 datacenters across eight key markets and is set to have over 600 MW of datacenter capacity by 2029.
