Equinix, a data center operator based in the United States, has signed its fourth renewable energy power purchase agreement in Singapore since 2024, an agreement with Flo Energy Singapore for at least 11.5 MWp of solar power.

In a statement on Tuesday, Equinix said the agreement features an option to expand to 50 MWp over time. Equinix is the first customer under Flo’s newly launched Data Centre Solutions offering, which Flo also provides to data-center operators in Australia.

The agreements can support Singapore’s Green Plan 2030, the government’s sustainability strategy, Equinix highlighted.

The solar power will come from rooftop installations on industrial and commercial buildings across Singapore. Equinix said the deal would bring its cumulative renewable energy portfolio in Singapore to 215 MWp by 2028. All of its agreements can generate about 250,000 MWh of electricity a year.

The agreement broadens Equinix’s renewable sourcing in Singapore to include private-sector providers, adding to earlier deals with Sembcorp and an ESR-TEPCO venture and to national programs such as SolarNova 7 and a JTC project on Jurong Island.

Equinix said it was separately funding research into alternative clean-energy sources. It noted a multi-year program of more than S$9 million ($7 million) covering geothermal energy and small modular reactors, a S$450,000 contribution to a Singapore Management University program, and plans with the National University of Singapore for a co-innovation facility. The facility, at its upcoming SG6 data center, will focus on technologies such as fuel cells, battery storage and liquid cooling.

Yee May Leong, Equinix’s managing director for Singapore, said the agreement reflected collaboration between the public and private sectors and would help meet rising demand for digital infrastructure while advancing the country’s sustainability goals. Matthijs Guichelaar, chief executive of Flo, said the deal pooled solar generation from commercial and industrial rooftops to make renewable energy more accessible to businesses in a land-constrained market.

With the latest move, Equinix has more than 1,490 MW of wind and solar power purchase agreements under contract across 11 countries, including Australia, India, Japan and Singapore.

For the second quarter of 2026, Equinix posted revenue of $2.625 billion, up 16 percent from a year earlier; operating income of $665 million, up 35 percent; and net income attributable to common stockholders of $479 million.
