Equinix, CleanMax to Build 33 MW RE Plant in Maharashtra

Digital infrastructure provider Equinix signed its first power purchase agreement (PPA) in India with Mumbai-based CleanMax, a renewable energy provider in the Commercial and Industrial sector backed by Brookfield. The agreement involves building a 33 MW Captive Power Plant in Maharashtra, which will supply renewable energy to Equinix’s data centres in Mumbai and support India’s renewable energy goals.

 

The project, comprising 26.4 MWp of solar and 6.6 MW of wind capacity, is set to begin operations in phases in 2025, ultimately powering Equinix’s International Business Exchange data centres in Mumbai. Manoj Paul, Managing Director of Equinix India, stated that this PPA enhances their sustainability commitment and enables 100% renewable energy coverage for customers in India.

 

PPAs are an effective means for data centres to source renewable energy and promote local renewable energy growth. This agreement marks Equinix’s first renewable energy initiative in India, following similar agreements in Australia and Singapore earlier this year. Globally, Equinix has executed 23 PPAs expected to generate over 3.1 million megawatt hours (MWh) of renewable energy annually across various countries, including the US, Australia, France, India, and Singapore.
