CtrlS Datacenters Ltd, a prominent player in the Indian data center market, has taken a significant step towards achieving its environmental sustainability goals. It has transitioned its Noida Datacenter – DC1 – to solar power. The company says that this move will enable the facility to meet 60 percent of its annual energy requirements through renewable sources.
Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Founder & CEO, CtrlS Datacenters said, “CtrlS Datacenters has set its eyes to achieve Net Zero by 2030. In line with our commitment to provide sustainable datacenter facilities, CtrlS Datacenters has commissioned a solar power project for our Noida D1 datacenter.” He further said, “This project is expected to generate 100GWh of electricity over its lifetime, offsetting 94,640 tonnes of CO2 emissions. This environmental impact is equivalent to planting 1,89,281 trees. And this is just one of the many green initiatives that we shall announce this year.”
CtrlS Datacenters will also extend renewable energy credits to all customers hosted within this facility. The company is also actively investing in developing its captive solar power projects across major markets in India. In addition, initiatives such as water recycling, direct-to-chip cooling (DTC) and liquid cooling are expected to significantly reduce energy consumption by up to 40 percent in the future.
At present, CtrlS Datacenters operates 15 datacenters across eight key markets, and has a nationwide footprint of 250 MW of datacenter capacity in tier-1 markets such as Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Noida and Hyderabad. It also operates Edge datacenter facilities in tier-2 markets such as Patna, Kolkata and Lucknow. CtrlS Datacenters is set to build over 600 MW of datacenter capacity by 2029.
