CleanMax to Supply Hybrid Solar-Wind Power to Iron Mountain Data Centres in India

Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Ltd (CleanMax) has signed a long-term agreement with Iron Mountain to supply hybrid renewable energy to the company’s data centres in Mumbai, Pune and Bengaluru, as rising AI and cloud demand drives electricity consumption in India’s data centre sector.

Under the group captive arrangement, CleanMax will supply around 32 million units of renewable power annually through a hybrid solar and wind project, helping raise the renewable energy share across Iron Mountain’s Indian data centre portfolio to as much as 75%.

The project will combine solar and wind generation assets across Maharashtra and Karnataka to support round-the-clock clean power supply for high-density data centre operations.

Growing Power Demand of Data Centers 

CleanMax said the partnership reflects growing demand from data centre operators for long-term renewable energy solutions as companies pursue decarbonisation and sustainability targets. “Data centers are becoming a key driver of electricity demand, and powering this growth with renewable energy is essential for a sustainable digital economy,” said Kuldeep Jain, Managing Director of CleanMax.

Iron Mountain said the agreement supports its target of achieving 24/7 carbon-free energy by 2040 and will also allow customers to claim renewable energy usage through the company’s Green Power Pass programme. The deal comes amid rapid growth in India’s data centre market, fuelled by expansion in artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital infrastructure, which is increasing focus on renewable energy procurement and hybrid power solutions.

5.7 GW of Capacity 

CleanMax currently has 5.7 GW of operational and contracted renewable energy capacity across India, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, spanning rooftop solar, utility-scale solar, wind and hybrid renewable projects. The company said data centres and AI-related customers accounted for 42% of its contracted volumes as of the third quarter of FY26.
