On November 12, data center operator AirTrunk signed an exclusive agreement with renewable energy developer European Energy Australia to advance two renewable energy projects in NSW, Australia. The proposed projects include a 260 MW solar farm in the Hunt-Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone, a battery energy storage system with a capacity of at least 800 MW, and a 350 MW wind farm. Together, these projects could add more than 1 GW of additional renewable energy generation and energy storage capacity to the NSW power system. The two companies are advancing project development and discussing a potential long-term power purchase agreement to meet AirTrunk's energy needs in NSW, including its proposed Kurri Kurri data center campus. The projects are expected to commence operations between 2030 and 2032.
