STT GDC India and CleanMax Renewable Energy Expansion

awarded

STT GDC India, a colocation data centre operator, and CleanMax, a commercial and industrial renewable energy company, have signed additional Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to expand their combined renewable energy capacity beyond 130 MW across data centre locations in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. The deal adds 21 MWp of solar capacity to an existing wind-solar hybrid supply arrangement serving STT GDC India's Chennai facilities. STT GDC India will hold a 26% equity stake in the renewable energy project, shifting from a simple offtake deal to direct ownership. The hybrid model combines wind and solar generation to maintain a steadier power supply for data centres running AI and high-density compute workloads.
