CleanMax signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (APEDB) to invest approximately ₹50,000 crore in developing an integrated clean energy complex in Andhra Pradesh. The company announced the investment at the 31st CII Partnership Summit on Thursday. Through this major investment, CleanMax aims to strengthen the state’s clean energy infrastructure while supporting the growing demand for sustainable power.
Clean Energy Complex to Support 2 GW Green Compute Factory
The proposed energy complex will supply power to a dedicated 2 GW Green Compute Factory in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. CleanMax will develop the project in collaboration with Neysa, a Blackstone-backed AI cloud services provider. The partnership aims to support energy-intensive computing infrastructure with dedicated clean power, aligning the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities with India’s clean energy transition.
Focus on Water Efficiency and Sustainable Operations
The proposed Green Compute Factory will incorporate resource-efficient technologies to minimize its environmental footprint. The facility will use direct-to-chip cooling technology to reduce water consumption and will rely exclusively on allocated industrial water supplies. This approach will help improve operational efficiency while supporting more sustainable data centre operations. As reported by thehindubusinessline.com, the ₹50,000-crore investment marks a significant step towards strengthening Andhra Pradesh’s clean energy ecosystem and supporting the development of energy-efficient AI and computing infrastructure.
