Equinix, the global leader in digital infrastructure, has officially commissioned a major Group Captive Solar project in India under its long-term renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with CleanMax. The launch marks a significant milestone in the company’s path toward achieving 100% renewable energy coverage across its worldwide operations by 2030.
The newly operational 26.4 MWp solar capacity went online on November 1, 2025. According to the company, the installation will generate an estimated 41.4 million kWh of solar energy annually, equivalent to the power consumption of more than 30,000 Indian households each year. The project is also expected to cut carbon emissions by over 30,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, underscoring Equinix’s efforts to drive sustainability in one of its fastest-growing markets.
“We are pleased to announce the commissioning of the solar project in India,” said Manoj Paul, Managing Director, India, Equinix. “This project is expected to generate 41.4 million kWh of solar energy annually and reduce carbon emissions by over 30,000 tonnes of CO₂ each year. This milestone not only reinforces our commitment to sustainability but also represents a key step forward in our journey towards achieving 100% renewable energy coverage across our global operations. By leveraging this clean energy capacity, we continue to reduce our carbon footprint and support our customers in India.”
The initiative aligns with India’s broader push toward renewable energy adoption and highlights the growing role of data centre operators in supporting national sustainability goals. With rising demand for cloud services, connectivity, and hyperscale deployments, energy efficiency and clean power sourcing have become central to the sector’s long-term growth.
