Digital Realty has reached 100% renewable energy coverage for its operations in Singapore.
This achievement has been reached through direct retail energy agreements with Tuas Power, incorporating locally generated biomass energy and regionally sourced renewable energy credits.
The company’s local renewable energy strategy also includes on-site solar facilities installed in 2023 and 2024.
“Reaching 100% renewable energy coverage for Singapore is a significant step forward in our journey to achieve our global renewable energy goals,” said Aaron Binkley, Vice President of Sustainability, Digital Realty. “This milestone underscores our unwavering commitment to operating responsibly and meeting customer demand for cost-competitive renewable energy solutions using the resources available in markets where we operate.”
“The achievement of 100% renewable energy coverage in Singapore is a significant milestone for Digital Realty, reflecting our dedication to sustainable practices in the Asia Pacific region,” said Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty. By aligning with Singapore’s Smart Nation vision, we are not only ensuring reliable and secure digital systems but also leading the way in environmental responsibility. Our commitment to sustainability is a cornerstone of our strategy, enabling us to support our customers and the broader community in building a greener future.”
“Tuas Power is pleased to partner with Digital Realty to support this momentous milestone,” said Lim Sam San, Senior Vice President, Retail Business, Tuas Power.
“We look forward to making locally generated renewable energy more accessible to businesses operating in Singapore as they transition to greener operations.”
Today, the majority of the company’s portfolio of 300+ data centers is matched with renewable energy, including 100% of its European portfolio and its entire North American colocation portfolio. With 1.5 gigawatts of renewable energy under contract through PPAs and other mechanisms, Digital Realty says it is supporting enough clean electricity to power a small- to medium-sized city.
