Under a memorandum of understanding with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board, CleanMax plans to establish at least 1.5 GW of renewable capacity by 2029 using solar, wind, pumped hydro, and battery storage. A dedicated special purpose vehicle will seek a distribution licence from the state regulator to operate an internal direct-supply network. To preserve resources, the facility will use industrial water supplies alongside direct-to-chip cooling methods. Neysa will also provide compute access to research bodies while CleanMax funds education and job training programs.
