CleanMax Enviro Energy Solutions Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (APEDB), Government of Andhra Pradesh, to invest nearly ₹50,000 crore in developing an integrated clean energy complex to support a 2 GW Green Compute Factory in the state. The proposed investment will combine renewable energy generation, energy storage and dedicated power distribution infrastructure to meet the growing electricity requirements of large-scale computing facilities.
Under the agreement, CleanMax plans to develop 3 GW of renewable energy generation capacity through wind and solar projects, along with 1 GW of pumped hydro storage facilities. The clean energy infrastructure will supply electricity to the Green Compute Factory being developed in collaboration with Neysa, an artificial intelligence (AI) cloud provider. Neysa will anchor the project with an initial IT load of 1 GW.
The Green Compute Factory will be located in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. CleanMax will be responsible for developing the power infrastructure and ensuring electricity supplies to the facility. The proposed integrated energy system will combine wind and solar generation with pumped hydro and battery energy storage systems (BESS) to provide a reliable power supply throughout the day and night.
According to the company, wind and solar projects will generate electricity at different times of the day and across seasons, while pumped storage and battery-based systems will help balance fluctuations in renewable energy generation. CleanMax will also establish its own distribution network to deliver round-the-clock clean electricity directly to the computing facility. The model is designed to align energy generation, storage and distribution with the factory’s electricity requirements from the initial planning stage.
The projects will be developed in phases, with at least 1.5 GW of renewable energy capacity proposed to be commissioned by 2029. To distribute electricity within the Green Compute Factory, a special purpose vehicle (SPV), owned and operated by CleanMax, will apply to the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) for a distribution licence. This will enable the development of a dedicated power distribution network within the facility.
The company also highlighted measures to reduce the facility’s water consumption. The Green Compute Factory will adopt direct-to-chip cooling technologies and use water allocated for industrial purposes by the local administration.
Alongside the energy investment, CleanMax has outlined several social responsibility initiatives. These include upgrading infrastructure at local primary schools and Anganwadis in partnership with United Way of Hyderabad. The company will also collaborate with Pratham Education Foundation to train local youth for entry-level employment opportunities in computing facilities. Training programmes will additionally target final-year students at local industrial training institutes and engineering colleges, focusing on advanced cooling and power systems.
Furthermore, Neysa will provide computing resources to leading research institutions in Andhra Pradesh.
Commenting on the development, Kuldeep Jain, Founder and Managing Director of CleanMax, said that growing computing demand requires clean electricity available throughout the day. He highlighted the importance of integrating renewable generation, storage and distribution with computing infrastructure.
The proposed investment strengthens Andhra Pradesh’s ambitions to attract large-scale digital infrastructure while supporting renewable energy development and employment opportunities in the state.
