EDPR and Microsoft partner on 20-year renewable energy deal

The tech company will purchase all energy exported from EDPR’s SolarNova 8 project.

EDP Renewables (EDPR), has entered into a 20-year agreement with Microsoft to decarbonise the company's operations. 

Under the collaboration, Microsoft will purchase all the renewable energy exported to the grid from EDPR’s SolarNova 8 project, which has a capacity of up to 200 megawatts peak (MWp).

The project, as part of Singapore’s SolarNova programme, is set to install solar capacity on more than 1,000 public housing buildings and over 100 government-owned buildings in the country

Meanwhile, the long-term contract will also support the development of new solar projects and is the second agreement signed between both companies in Singapore, following a collaboration for clean energy in 2018.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
