Equinix has announced the signing of its first renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) in Japan with Trina Solar International Systems Business Unit (''Trina Solar ISBU'') Japan Team (Trina Solar Japan Energy Co., Ltd.). This landmark 20-year agreement, scheduled to commence in 2028, secures 30 MW of renewable electricity capacity from the Yufutsu Abira Solar Project in Hokkaido.

"Our first PPA in Japan empowers our customers to confidently pursue aggressive decarbonisation objectives, knowing the energy consumption of their data centre operations at Equinix is covered by renewable energy. By proactively investing in new renewable energy projects, Equinix is not only improving the quality of its renewable energy coverage but also helping to pave the way towards a more sustainable digital economy for Japan," Kuniko Ogawa, managing director of Equinix Japan, said.

First corporate solar power agreement

The agreement marks Equinix's first renewable energy PPA in Japan, addressing challenges cited by RE100 members. Japan, known for its stringent regulations and limited renewable energy sources, has been one of the most challenging markets globally to procure renewable energy.

With Equinix already achieving 100% renewable energy coverage for its operations in Japan, this agreement is poised to enhance the quality of renewable energy through new contributions of renewable capacity to the local power grid, benefiting the local community and environment.

The Hokkaido solar farm will contribute to Equinix's renewable energy initiatives while reinforcing our vision of advancing solar development in Japan," he said.
