CleanMax signs ₹50,000 crore MoU with Andhra Pradesh to power 2 GW green compute factory

Résumé détaillé

The proposed integrated energy complex will combine wind and solar power generation with pumped hydro and battery energy storage system (BESS) facilities to ensure a continuous power supply.

Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Ltd on Thursday (November 12) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (APEDB), Government of Andhra Pradesh, to invest nearly ₹50,000 crore in an integrated clean energy complex comprising 3 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity and 1 GW of pumped hydro storage facilities.

The projects will supply round-the-clock power to a 2 GW Green Compute Factory being developed in Kurnool district in collaboration with Neysa, an artificial intelligence (AI) cloud provider. CleanMax will be responsible for developing the power infrastructure and supplying electricity to the facility.

Wind and solar projects will generate electricity at different times of the day and year, while pumped storage and battery storage will balance supply to meet the compute facility's round-the-clock requirements.

CleanMax will also develop and operate its own power distribution network to supply electricity to the Green Compute Factory. The company plans to use a dedicated clean energy system aligned with the compute facility's power requirements, covering the entire project lifecycle from planning to operations.

The Green Compute Factory will be developed in Kurnool district, with Neysa, an AI cloud provider, signing an MoU with CleanMax to anchor the park with a 1 GW information technology (IT) load. The proposed facility will use direct-to-chip cooling technology to limit water consumption. It will draw water from supplies allocated for industrial use by the local administration.
