STT Global Data Centres India Pvt Ltd (STT GDC India), an AI-ready colocation data centre services provider, has expanded its long-standing partnership with Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions through additional power purchase agreements.
21 MW solar addition strengthens Chennai operations
The latest agreement adds 21 MWp of solar capacity, augmenting CleanMax’s existing wind–solar hybrid power supply to STT GDC India’s data centres in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
Total renewable capacity crosses 130 MW across key hubs
With this expansion, the overall partnership now exceeds 130 MW of reliable hybrid renewable energy capacity across key data centre hubs in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. As part of the arrangement, STT GDC India will further scale its contracted green energy capacity in captive mode, backed by a 26% equity investment in the renewable energy project.
Captive model with equity investment to scale green energy
Such partnerships signal a more deliberate, future-ready approach by data centre operators, integrating solar and wind to ensure round-the-clock renewable energy supply. This model is becoming increasingly critical as AI-led workloads drive higher and more consistent energy demand.
