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

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
