STT GDC sources 83.2% of electricity from renewables

The data centre operator is working towards carbon-neutral operations by 2030.

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) said renewable sources accounted for 83.2% of its electricity consumption in 2025 as it works towards carbon-neutral operations by 2030.

The data centre operator reduced its carbon intensity by 70.5% from its 2021 baseline, exceeding its 2028 target three years early, according to its environmental, social and governance report.

Absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions fell 15.2% year-on-year, it added.

Scope 1 covers emissions from sources controlled by the company, whilst Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy.

STT GDC recorded an average power usage effectiveness of 1.44, representing a 13% improvement from its 2020 baseline. 

The operator said that the metric measures the total energy used by a data centre relative to the energy consumed by its computing equipment, with a lower figure indicating greater efficiency.

Meanwhile, water usage effectiveness improved by 41.2% from the 2020 baseline. The company said 48% of its data centres had obtained green building certification.

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.
