[AirTrunk signs renewable energy agreement to power its Australian data center] 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 New South Wales, Australia. The proposed projects include a 260MW solar farm, a battery storage system with a capacity of at least 800MW and a 350MW wind farm in the Hunter-Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone. Together, these projects could add more than 1 GW of new renewable energy generation and storage capacity to the NSW electricity system. The companies are advancing project development and discussing a potential long-term power purchase agreement to meet AirTrunk's energy needs in New South Wales, including its proposed Kurri Kurri data center campus. The projects are expected to begin operations between 2030 and 2032.
