Digital Edge (Singapore) Holdings Pte. Ltd. and Peak Energy Investments Ltd. will collaborate to pursue renewable energy production projects designed to power Digital Edge data centers across the Asia Pacific region.
Decarbonisation
Samuel Lee, chief executive officer at Digital Edge, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that it will enable them to “scale our renewable energy usage across the region as we strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. To date, we have made substantial progress in leveraging renewable energy across the Digital Edge platform, with our EDGE1 facility in Jakarta becoming the first data center in Indonesia to run on 100% renewables.”
The partnership will allow the two companies to jointly pursue an initial pipeline of 500 MW of operating capacity for existing and planned data centers over three years.
Peak Energy’s combination of solar, wind, and storage technologies will target renewable energy projects in Japan, Korea, Indonesia, India, the Philippines, and other countries where Digital Edge has existing or future deployments.
The partnership is a significant step towards achieving the two companies' shared sustainability goals. The projects are expected to contribute to the decarbonisation of up to 1 GW of power, and generate more than 1,300 GWh per year, which is equivalent to removing 216,000 cars off the road.
“Peak Energy is focused on helping corporates sustainably reduce their power costs and carbon footprints. We look forward to expanding the existing relationship with Digital Edge on this exciting initiative,” Gavin Adda, chief executive officer at Peak Energy, said.
