Equinix Picks Flo in Singapore Rooftop Solar PPA

• Equinix locks an 11.5 MWp Singapore rooftop solar deal with Flo Energy, expandable to 50 MWp, boosting renewables to 215 MWp by 2028 and aiming for 250,000 MWh yearly.

Equinix has signed a solar power purchase agreement in Singapore with Flo Energy, selecting the supplier as its counterparty for at least 11.5 MWp of electricity. The power will come from commercial and industrial rooftop installations nationwide. Equinix can expand the contract up to 50 MWp as its power needs rise.

The deal is Equinix’s fourth renewable-energy agreement in Singapore in two years and would lift its cumulative renewable portfolio to 215 MWp by 2028. With the broader set of agreements, the company expects about 250,000 MWh annually. Flo aggregates rooftop generation and Equinix is the first customer for its Data Centre Solutions platform, offered also in Australia. Globally, Equinix has more than 1,490 MW of wind and solar PPAs across 11 countries.

How will Equinix’s 11.5–50 MWp Singapore PPA with Flo Energy boost renewables?

• Adds new, contracted solar capacity on Singapore commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftops, turning local generation into a long-term, bankable supply rather than ad-hoc procurement.
  
• Improves renewables “additionality” by creating demand certainty: a multi‑MWp PPA helps rooftop project owners finance and operate systems that might otherwise face uptake barriers.
  
• Lets Equinix scale incrementally (from at least 11.5 MWp up to 50 MWp), which supports a step-change in renewable procurement as data-center load grows.
• Concentrates supply in the built environment (rooftops nationwide), reducing the need for new land-use projects and accelerating deployment where land constraints are a common challenge.
  
• Uses an aggregation model through Flo Energy, which pools many rooftops into one contracted “bundle,” making it easier for large buyers to procure renewables without managing dozens of small assets.
  
• Strengthens renewables integration for a corporate offtaker: the PPA structure helps align contracting, performance measurement, and payment flows between generators and a single corporate customer.
  
• Provides stable, long-term renewable energy demand that supports the local supply chain for solar installation, operations, and maintenance.
  
• Helps increase the share of clean electricity available to data centers, lowering exposure to fossil-based generation and supporting decarbonization commitments at the facility level.
  
• Broadens Equinix’s renewable portfolio via another Singapore agreement, contributing to cumulative renewable targets and steady annual clean-energy procurement.
  
• Signals market confidence to developers and investors in Singapore C&I rooftop solar, encouraging more rooftop owners to participate and expand the pipeline.
• Builds renewable momentum in the region by tying a major global digital-infrastructure operator to distributed solar procurement, which can catalyze additional corporate PPAs beyond this initial contract.
