Princeton Digital Group (PDG), an Asian data center provider headquartered in Singapore, recently announced a significant development in its sustainable energy efforts. The company has entered into a renewable power consumption agreement (PCA) with a subsidiary of Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), a prominent renewable energy firm in India.

Under this agreement, PDG's MU1 data center located in Airoli, Mumbai, will now be powered by electricity generated from a solar project situated in the Nanded district of Maharashtra. This collaborative effort between PDG and TPREL's subsidiary will mark the initial phase of renewable energy integration for PDG's MU1 data center.

The solar project, funded by both PDG and TPREL, will gradually commence power generation in stages, with the first phase scheduled to start on June 1. By establishing a long-term (25-year) agreement, PDG aims to achieve substantial progress in digital decarbonisation by ensuring that its MU1 data center operates on up to 50% renewable energy.

PDG introduced its MU1 data center in December of the previous year. This cutting-edge facility comprises two buildings and provides a critical IT capacity of 48 MW.

As of now, TPREL boasts a substantial renewable utility capacity of 6,788 MW. This includes projects totaling 2,871 MW that are currently in various stages of implementation, along with an operational capacity of 3,917 MW (2,989 MW from solar sources and 928 MW from wind sources). Additionally, TPREL's solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) portfolio consists of over 11.5 GWp of ground-mount utility-scale systems, more than 1.6 GW of rooftop and distributed ground-mounted systems, as well as over 97,000 solar water pumps.
