Solar Power Purchase Agreements for Data Centres

In today’s competitive landscape, data centres are constantly seeking innovative solutions to optimise operational efficiency and sustainability. Our solar power purchase agreements (PPAs) present an attractive opportunity for data centres to achieve these goals.

By partnering with us, your data centre can invest in a reliable energy source without the concern of initial capital investment or maintenance hassles.

Our PPA model is designed to align with the long-term operational strategies of data centres. Under this agreement, we handle the complete installation, operation, and maintenance of all renewable energy infrastructure. This allows your data centre to immediately benefit from lower and predictable energy costs, enhancing your financial planning and budget management.

At the end of the PPA term, the ownership of the solar infrastructure seamlessly transfers to you. This ensures that your data centre continues to reap the benefits of solar energy for the entire lifespan of the system, which extends far beyond 25 years.

This long-term energy solution not only guarantees ongoing operational cost savings but also reinforces your position as a forward-thinking, environmentally responsible industry leader.
