- Continual improvement year on year.
- Replacing Electricity consumption from Non-RE source with RE by Power Purchase Agreements.
- 75% of Total Electricity consumption will be from Renewable Energy source by year 2023-2024.
- Low PUE (ASHRAE guidelines) and low WUE (Green Grid guidelines).
Green Data Centers
For a sustainable future, we are working towards Carbon-neutral Green Data Centers with renewable energy solutions:- Carbon-neutral Green Data Center provider (RE100) within 5 years.
- Reduction in carbon footprint by 28% during current year and Continual improvement in green power efficiencies year on year.
- Replacing Electricity consumption from non-RE source with RE by Power Purchase Agreements.
- 75% of Total Electricity consumption will be from Renewable Energy source in next two years
- Low PUE (ASHRAE guidelines) and low WUE (Green Grid guidelines).
- Power Usage Effectiveness is an index defined by The Green Grid that measures how efficiently a computer data center uses energy.
- Lowest PUE by designing high efficiency power conversion architecture.
- Modular and scalable infrastructure to achieve better utilization.
- Minimize operational loss in electrical line-up and cooling by adopting best operational practices.
- Water efficiency is a sustainability indicator created by The Green Grid to measure the amount of water used by data centers to cool IT assets.
- We maintain lowest WUE by improving Cycle of water concentration for Chillers.
- Reusage of grey water in other domestic purposes.
- Maintaining high water quality by using environment friendly technologies.
- The Green Grid has developed a Carbon Usage Effectiveness metric to measure carbon emissions.
- Reduction in carbon footprint by 28% during current year and Continual improvement in green power efficiencies year on year.
- As per carbon abetment policy we are driving usage of renewable power across all PAN INDIA facilities.
- Lowest PUE and WUE to support reduction in carbon emissions.
