Digital Realty, the leading global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions, today announced that it has reached 100% renewable energy coverage for its operations in Singapore, highlighting its commitment to source for high-quality, locally generated renewable energy.
The company has achieved this 100% renewable energy coverage milestone through direct retail energy agreements with Tuas Power, incorporating locally generated biomass energy and regionally sourced renewable energy credits. The company’s local renewable energy strategy also includes on-site solar facilities installed in 2023 and 2024. This achievement represents a significant accomplishment in a market where renewable energy procurement is particularly challenging, Digital Realty said in a press statement.
“Reaching 100% renewable energy coverage for Singapore is a significant step forward in our journey to achieve our global renewable energy goals,” said Aaron Binkley, Vice President of Sustainability, Digital Realty.
Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty said, “By aligning with Singapore’s Smart Nation vision, we are not only ensuring reliable and secure digital systems but also leading the way in environmental responsibility.”
Meanwhile, Lim Sam San, Senior Vice President, Retail Business, Tuas Power, said, “Tuas Power is pleased to partner with Digital Realty to support this momentous milestone and we look forward to making locally generated renewable energy more accessible to businesses operating in Singapore as they transition to greener operations.”
Today, the majority of Digital Realty’s portfolio of more than 300 data centers is matched with renewable energy, including 100% of its entire European portfolio and its North American colocation portfolio. With 1.5 gigawatts of renewable energy under contract through PPAs and other mechanisms, Digital Realty is supporting enough clean electricity to power a small- to medium-sized city.
