Data center provider, Digital Edge, announced the signing of a renewable energy power purchase agreement (PPA) with Hexa Climate Solutions for up to 83 MW of solar capacity to support the first phase of its 350 MW AI-ready hyperscale campus under development in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra.

Hexa Climate Solutions will deliver the power in phases, beginning in December 2026, and represents the maximum renewable energy capacity permitted under current regulations for the campus’s initial development phase.

As part of the structure, Digital Edge India will take a substantial minority equity stake in the associated renewable energy projects to ensure captive user status under applicable rules.

The BOM campus is the first project developed under the joint venture between Digital Edge, the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF), and AGP.

Headquartered in Singapore and backed by Stonepeak, Digital Edge operates data centers and fiber platforms across nine Asia-Pacific countries and reports more than 1.5 GW of secured IT power capacity.

NIIF, anchored by the Government of India alongside global institutional investors, manages $4.9 billion in equity capital commitments across four strategies: infrastructure, private markets, growth equity, and climate investments.

Hexa Climate Solutions has a 3 GW portfolio across operational and under-construction assets in India.

It provides open-access solar and wind power, battery energy storage systems, carbon offsets, and International Renewable Energy Certificates to utilities and to commercial and industrial customers.

Recently, Hexa Climate Solutions was announced as one of the winners of Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation’s auction to develop 600 MW of interstate transmission system-connected wind-solar hybrid projects across India. The company won 100 MW at a tariff of ₹3.75 (~$0.0413)/kWh.

Electricity demand in data centers comes from two main processes: computing and cooling. Computing accounts for about 40% of a data center’s electricity demand, while cooling, necessary to maintain stable processing efficiency, also makes up approximately 40%. The remaining 20% is used by other associated IT equipment.
