CleanMax Enviro Energy Solutions has signed a 21 MWp solar power purchase agreement (PPA) with STT GDC India to supply green power to its facilities in Chennai.
The agreement is aimed at supporting the decarbonisation of energy-intensive data centre operations, which are witnessing rapid growth driven by digitalisation and artificial intelligence demand. The solar project will be developed under a long-term PPA model, enabling STT GDC India to procure renewable power while reducing its reliance on conventional grid electricity.
The 21 MWp capacity is expected to contribute significantly to lowering carbon emissions associated with data centre operations, while also enhancing energy cost efficiency and sustainability performance. The initiative aligns with the broader industry trend of integrating clean energy into digital infrastructure to meet corporate net-zero commitments.
CleanMax Enviro Energy Solutions, one of India’s leading commercial and industrial (C&I) renewable energy providers, continues to expand its portfolio of corporate PPAs across sectors including manufacturing, airports, and data centres. The company currently has a multi-gigawatt renewable portfolio, with a growing share of demand coming from data centre and AI-driven enterprises.
For STT GDC India, the agreement reinforces its commitment to sustainable operations as it scales its data centre footprint in India. The company is part of a rapidly expanding ecosystem of digital infrastructure providers seeking reliable and low-carbon energy sources to support increasing power consumption.
Industry experts note that such partnerships highlight a broader shift in India’s energy landscape, where corporate renewable PPAs are becoming a critical enabler for decarbonising high-energy-consuming sectors. With data centres emerging as a key demand driver, long-term solar agreements are expected to play a pivotal role in ensuring sustainable and cost-effective power supply.
The development underscores the convergence of India’s renewable energy expansion and digital infrastructure growth, positioning solar PPAs as a cornerstone for powering the next phase of the country’s digital economy.
