Equinix has signed its fourth renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) in Singapore in two years, partnering with Flo Energy Singapore to secure at least 11.5MWp of solar capacity from industrial and commercial rooftop installations across the country.
The agreement includes an option for Equinix to expand capacity to up to 50MWp over time, supporting the company’s growing energy needs and long-term sustainability ambitions.
With this latest deal, Equinix will expand its local renewable energy portfolio in Singapore to a cumulative 215MWp by 2028, reinforcing its position as one of the leading colocation off-takers in the nation.
Collectively, these agreements are expected to generate about 250,000 MWh of electricity per year—equivalent to the annual charging energy for roughly 60,000 electric vehicles (EVs) in Singapore.
"Singapore’s position as a trusted global AI and Digital Hub will be underpinned by digital infrastructure that is resilient, sustainable and built for the future,” said Yee May Leong, managing director, Singapore, Equinix. "Our fourth PPA is a significant milestone that reflects the power of collaboration across Singapore’s public and private sectors."

The agreement with Flo broadens Equinix’s renewable energy sourcing strategy in Singapore by expanding participation from private-sector renewable energy providers. It complements Equinix’s existing renewable energy agreements and participation in national initiatives, including SolarNova 7 and JTC Jurong Island, creating a more diversified and resilient pathway to renewable energy coverage in a land- and resource-constrained market.
“Singapore’s data center sector is entering a new phase in which energy availability and sustainability considerations are becoming increasingly strategic,” said Soon Chen Kang, senior research analyst, 451 Research, S&P Global Market Intelligence. "Equinix’s latest agreement highlights how operators are diversifying their renewable energy sourcing models and collaborating with a wider ecosystem of partners."
Soon adds that: "In a market shaped by land and grid constraints, multi-stakeholder approaches will play a critical role in supporting the continued growth and decarbonization of digital infrastructure."
Flo’s chief executive officer Matthijs Guichelaar added: “With Singapore’s limited space, we need to think differently about how we make renewable energy more accessible for businesses with renewable aspirations."

"By bringing together generation from commercial and industrial rooftop solar projects across Singapore, this agreement demonstrates how we can help businesses support renewable energy at scale through our Data Centre Solutions, even in a land-constrained market." Matthijs Guichelaar
Equinix is the first customer secured under Flo’s newly launched Data Centre Solutions, which is also available to data centre operators in Australia through Flo’s local business.
The offering helps operators manage electricity costs and renewable energy procurement through tailored products, including fixed-price contracts, progressive purchasing, structured derivatives, Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) matching, and PPAs.
Beyond renewable energy procurement, Equinix continues to invest in initiatives that strengthen Singapore’s long-term energy resilience and innovation ecosystem. The company recently announced a multi-year funding programme of more than S$9 million to support research into alternative clean energy sources, including geothermal energy and small modular reactors (SMRs).
The CIF will focus on accelerating the development of next-generation sustainability and energy technologies for data centres, including fuel cells, battery energy storage, liquid cooling, and digital twin capabilities.
Including this PPA, Equinix has more than 1,490 MW of wind and solar PPAs under contract across 11 countries, including Australia, India, Japan, and Singapore, supporting its broader commitment to scaling renewable energy coverage across its global platform.
