CtrlS Datacenters Limited has taken a significant stride towards sustainability by transitioning its Noida data centre, DC1, to solar power.. This move will enable the facility to meet 60 per cent annual energy requirements through renewable sources.
Further, CtrlS Datacenters will extend renewable energy credits to all customers hosted within this facility, reinforcing its commitment to environmental stewardship. This initiative aligns with the company’s sustainable charter, underscoring its dedication to reducing its carbon footprint and promoting the adoption of clean energy solutions.
Commenting on the transition, Sridhar Pinnapureddy, founder, and chief executive officer (CEO), CtrlS Datacenters, said, “CtrlS Datacenters has set its eyes to achieve net zero by 2030. In line with our commitment to provide sustainable datacentre facilities, CtrlS Datacenters has commissioned a solar power project for our Noida D1 datacentre. This project is expected to generate 100 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity over its lifetime, offsetting 94,640 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This environmental impact is equivalent to planting 1,89,281 trees. And this is just one of the many green initiatives that we shall announce this year.”
To achieve its net zero goals by 2030, CtrlS Datacenters is also actively investing in developing its captive solar power projects across major markets in India. In addition, the company is embracing cutting-edge green technologies across its datacentres to enhance energy efficiency and minimise environmental impact. Initiatives such as water recycling, direct-to-chip cooling (DTC) and liquid cooling are expected to significantly reduce energy consumption by up to 40 per cent in the future.
