Equinix Singapore Solar PPA Adds Up to 50 MWp of Rooftop Capacity
Equinix has signed its fourth renewable-energy agreement in Singapore, adding at least 11.5 MWp of rooftop solar capacity through Flo Energy with an option to expand the agreement to as much as 50 MWp.

Equinix signed a new renewable-energy power purchase agreement with Flo Energy Singapore on August 18, 2026, that will add at least 11.5 MWp of rooftop solar capacity for its Singapore data-center portfolio, with an option to expand to as much as 50 MWp. The Equinix Singapore solar PPA is the company’s fourth renewable-energy agreement in the city-state in two years and extends its effort to secure additional clean electricity as digital-infrastructure power demand grows.
The agreement could help lift Equinix’s cumulative renewable-energy portfolio in Singapore to 215 MWp by 2028, while the company’s Singapore agreements collectively are expected to generate about 250,000 MWh of electricity annually. Reuters reported the new agreement will initially draw from industrial and commercial rooftop installations across Singapore.
The agreement broadens Equinix’s Singapore solar portfolio
The new contract builds on three Singapore solar agreements Equinix announced between 2024 and 2025. Its first long-term renewable-energy PPA was tied to approximately 75 MWp of solar capacity, while a second agreement added up to 58.5 MWp from JTC properties on Jurong Island. A third agreement announced in December 2025 secured more than 10 MWp from commercial and industrial rooftops.
The latest arrangement also expands Equinix’s relationship with Singapore’s distributed commercial solar market. Flo Energy describes its commercial solar model as a fully financed PPA structure under which it finances, installs and maintains solar PV systems while customers purchase the resulting electricity.
That structure is especially relevant in Singapore, where rooftop installations can add renewable generation without requiring the large ground-mounted sites common in less land-constrained markets. The Equinix Singapore solar PPA specifically draws on industrial and commercial rooftops rather than a single utility-scale solar farm.
Equinix has been building the portfolio in stages
Equinix’s previous Singapore agreements show how the company has assembled renewable supply from several different groups of properties. Its 2024 SolarNova-related agreement was associated with solar panels across public-housing blocks and government sites, while its second contract included solar installations on Jurong Island.
In December 2025, Equinix said its first three Singapore PPAs were projected to total 143.5 MWp. That announcement also said the third agreement would source rooftop solar from private commercial and industrial buildings nationwide.
The newly announced Flo Energy transaction continues that distributed-rooftop strategy. Reuters reported that Equinix is the first customer secured under Flo Energy’s newly launched Data Centre Solutions offering.
Data-center power procurement is becoming a larger infrastructure issue
For data-center operators, renewable-energy procurement increasingly sits alongside access to grid capacity, generation availability and energy costs as a core infrastructure consideration. Large digital facilities require steady electricity supplies, while new AI and high-density computing deployments can increase power requirements at individual sites.
PPAs do not eliminate a data center’s need for a reliable grid connection or firm operating power. Instead, they provide a contractual mechanism for supporting or purchasing renewable generation associated with the operator’s electricity consumption. The physical and contractual structure can vary significantly from one agreement to another.
Equinix’s approach in Singapore is notable because the company is accumulating renewable supply through several separate solar projects rather than relying on one large development. According to the latest figures reported by Reuters, Equinix now has more than 1,490 MW of wind and solar PPAs under contract across 11 countries.
What happens next
The new agreement begins with at least 11.5 MWp of capacity and includes an option to scale to as much as 50 MWp. The ultimate amount deployed under that expansion option therefore remains dependent on future execution rather than being guaranteed at the maximum level today.
The development of the associated rooftop installations will also determine how quickly the agreement contributes to Equinix’s Singapore renewable-energy portfolio. The company’s stated expectation is for its cumulative local portfolio to reach 215 MWp by 2028.
