For Microsoft, this deal is an important step in its goal to become carbon-negative by 2030.
SINGAPORE: Microsoft has taken another step towards its ambitious climate goals by agreeing to purchase solar power generated by panels installed on public housing and government-owned buildings in Singapore.
However, the company has faced challenges along the way. The SolarNova 8 project can generate up to 200 megawatts of power. While some of this energy will be used to power the buildings where the panels are installed, the rest will be exported to the grid under a 20-year offtake agreement with Microsoft. This is the second such deal between Microsoft and EDP Renewables in Singapore.
