Princeton Digital Group joins hands with Tata Power to reduce carbon footprint

Princeton Digital Group (PDG)  announced the signing of a 25-year renewable energy agreement with Tata Power, one of India’s largest power companies. This agreement will enable  PDG’s MU1 data center in Airoli, Mumbai to get power generated by a solar project located in Nanded district, Maharashtra. The project is a captive development with investment from both companies that will provide PDG’s MU1 with its first phase of renewable energy. The project will commence generation in steps from June 2023.

 The partnership between PDG and Tata Power aims to promote and support the development of renewable energy projects across PDG’s data center portfolio in Asia. The agreement signifies a long-term commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of PDG’s operations while ensuring a reliable and sustainable power supply for their data centers.

Tata Power will be responsible for supplying PDG’s data centers with clean energy from various renewable sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.

With this agreement, PDG aims to achieve a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across its data centers. Additionally, this partnership aims to align with the broader renewable energy initiatives in Asia, where governments and businesses are increasingly recognizing the importance of transitioning to clean energy sources. 

In December 2022, PDG launched the first phase of its MU1 data center, providing 48 MW of critical IT capacity across two buildings.

In 2021   STT GDC India announced a partnership with Avaada MHKhamgaon Private Limited, a subsidiary of Avaada Energy Private Limited to procure 99MUs/annum (99 Million kWh) of renewable energy under a captive structure. The goal of this partnership is an annual reduction of 4.5 lakh tonnes of CO2 emissions by 2025.
