Nxtra by Airtel and AMPIN Energy Transition have strengthened their partnership with a new, power-wheeling agreement involving 125.65 megawatt (MW) of solar-wind hybrid energy through inter-state transmission system (ISTS) connected plants. With this, the total renewable energy partnership between the two companies has crossed over 200 MW. The additional green power amounting to 205,167 MWh will allow for low-carbon computing and is expected to reduce Nxtra’s emissions by approximately 149,156 tCO2e annually.
The additional capacity will be delivered to Nxtra in two phases, each through captive solar-wind power projects in Rajasthan and Karnataka, respectively. AMPIN has been supplying solar power to Nxtra through intra-state, open access in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha. With this new agreement, AMPIN will add 11 new states as well as new technologies such as large-scale ISTS renewable energy supply and the seamless supply of renewable energy from a single independent power producer (IPP).
Commenting on the announcement, chief executive officer (CEO), Nxtra, said, “Sustainability is not just a commitment, it is our responsibility and our opportunity to lead. By powering our digital infrastructure with over 200 MW of renewable energy through our partnership with AMPIN, we are setting new standards for the industry. This achievement highlights our leadership in using ISTS-backed clean energy to power our facilities sustainably, boosting reliability and ensuring tangible climate impact. At Nxtra, we are determined to drive innovation and inspire action, ensuring that our operations not only support India’s digital growth but also protect its environment for generations to come.”
Meanwhile, founder, managing director and CEO, AMPIN Energy Transition, said, “With this partnership, we demonstrate that through a seamless blend of inter-state and intra-state renewable energy solutions backed by a pan-India presence, we can take any customer through a nearly 100 per cent energy transition. Nxtra by Airtel, a leader in the data and fast-growing data centre space shares our vision for sustainability and we are proud to make data centres green by this association.”
