AirTrunk, a hyperscale data centre specialist in Asia Pacific & Japan, signed a long-term PPA as the energy off-taker. This marked the first CGPP project to begin construction using bi-facial modules and single-axis trackers to improve solar energy capture.The solar plant could cut about 55,380 tons of CO2 each year. AirTrunk planning to fully power its data centres with renewable energy by 2030. The project supports clean energy development in Malaysia and addresses growing data centre energy demand. ib vogt also transferred its 720 MW Greek Solar portfolio recently.
