The tropical sun poured down on the silicon wafers of the Malay Peninsula, and the electric current flowed silently. With AirTrunk signing the agreement with ib vogt, the first VPPA for data centers in Southeast Asia has officially landed. This is not only a transaction about light and electricity, but also a low-carbon contract submitted by digital infrastructure to natural laws in the era of skyrocketing computing power.

Photovoltaic project put into operation

AirTrunk, an Asia Pacific data center operator, has signed a long-term virtual grid power purchase agreement (VPPA) with new energy company ib vogt. This cooperation is the first renewable energy power purchase contract for the data center industry in Malaysia under the Malaysian Enterprise Green Power Program (CGPP). The 29.99 MW photovoltaic power station developed by ib vogt has been officially put into commercial use, providing stable power supply for AirTrunk's Malaysia campus.

The photovoltaic power station continues to supply clean electricity to the Malaysian national grid, helping to implement the CGPP green development goals and accelerate the country's low-carbon economic transformation. David Ludwig, President of IB Vogt Asia Pacific, stated that the core mission of the company is to assist partners in achieving low-carbon transformation, and the project has been successfully delivered in a safe and compliant manner. Damian Spiran, Chief Customer and Innovation Officer of AirTrunk, stated that long-term cooperation can not only add green power supply to Malaysia's power grid, but also help companies achieve their low-carbon goal of 100% renewable energy use in all platform data centers by 2030.

Deeply cultivate the layout and build a regional hub

Malaysia is the core layout area for IB Vogt to deeply cultivate the Asia Pacific market. The company has landed multiple benchmark photovoltaic projects in the local area: the Coara Marang photovoltaic power station in Terengganu has an installed capacity of 116 megawatts, which is Malaysia's leading photovoltaic facility in terms of scale and technology; Jida Prefecture has simultaneously laid out two 40 MW CGPP photovoltaic power stations, forming a large-scale clean energy production capacity.

Industry demonstration leads low-carbon transformation

This long-term power purchase cooperation between the data center and photovoltaic enterprises provides a replicable model for the greening of Southeast Asia's computing power industry. By directly supplying data centers through photovoltaic power stations, we can open up channels for clean energy consumption and simultaneously promote the large-scale development of Malaysia's renewable energy industry, providing reference for the carbon neutrality path of regional digital infrastructure.Editor/Gong Ziwei
