Colo data center developer and operator Digital Realty has claimed 100 percent renewable energy coverage across its operations in Singapore, following an offtake agreement with Tuas Power, one of Singapore’s largest power generation firms.
The direct retail energy agreement with Tuas will incorporate locally generated biomass energy and regionally sourced renewable energy credits.
“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,” said Lim Sam San, SVP, of retail business at Tuas Power.
In addition, Digital Realty has also installed several onsite solar facilities at its data centers that were commissioned during 2023 and 2024.
“The achievement of 100 percent renewable energy coverage in Singapore is a significant milestone for Digital Realty, reflecting our dedication to sustainable practices in the Asia Pacific region,” said Serene Nah, managing director and head of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty.
Digital Realty currently operates three data centers in Singapore, including SIN1029A, SIN11 (Digital Loyang 1), and SIN12 (Digital Loyang 2).
SIN12 was officially launched in 2021 and is the company’s largest data center in the country, with a capacity of 50MW.
Digital Realty currently matches the majority of its data center portfolio with renewable energy, including 100 percent of its entire European portfolio and North American colo portfolio.
The company has also committed to several long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), holding more than 1.5GW of renewable energy under contract through PPAs.
Last May, it signed five PPAs in Spain and France for 134MW of power. In France, the company signed two 15-year deals for wind energy. The projects, from developer Wpd, encompass small wind farms in the French regions of Bretagne and Hauts-de-France.
It has also signed deals in Australia, California, Germany, and Texas.
