Andhra Pradesh Sets 70% Renewable Energy Requirement for Data Centres

Andhra Pradesh has set a 70% renewable energy requirement for data centres operating in the state, as it works to position Visakhapatnam as a major hub for technology investments. The move aims to attract large tech companies while addressing environmental concerns, particularly water usage in data centre operations.

State minister Lokesh announced the policy as part of broader efforts to strengthen the state's digital infrastructure. The directive reflects AP's strategy to balance rapid technological growth with sustainability goals.
