Sify Technologies has pledged to use renewable energy in its expanding data centre portfolio in India. Vibrant Energy Holdings, a majority-owned subsidiary of Blue Leaf Energy Asia Pte. Ltd, a portfolio business of Macquarie’s GIG, recently completed power purchase agreements (PPAs).
Sify’s latest hyperscale data centres will be powered by PPAs for a total of 231MW of solar and wind energy capacity, with a 67MW solar PPA signed in March 2021 and just commissioned.
This collaboration is the first step in a clear plan for the corporation to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels to power its rapidly expanding data centre business, lowering its carbon footprint considerably.
