Many enterprises in the data centre industry are devoting resources toward securing renewable energy to power data centre services. For example, in 2021 CyrusOne announced that all European data centres are 100% powered by renewable energy.

Under the Energy as a Service (EaaS) agreement, Engie will install a solar plant on the rooftops of the Cote d’Ivoire facility and solar carports. This will provide direct energy for operations as well as help the company to avoid using fossil fuels in regular operations or in generators, reducing the environmental impact of the data centre. The project will have a total installed capacity of 355 kWp.

Mantra has committed $1 billion in resources which will be spent on a string of data centres, each with 20 MW capacity. The new data centre facilities will be located in Mumbai (2), Chennai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kolkata.

The new 32 MW facility, known as the Intellicentre 3 (IC3) Super West data centre, will connect with IC3 East and bring the campus to a total of 50 MW.
