SolX recharges Digital Edge's sustainable energy initiatives

Digital Edge, projected to become the largest operational carrier-neutral data center in the Philippines, is committed to leading the way in sustainability within the tech industry. Since launching operations during the pandemic, the company has experienced exponential growth while prioritizing environmentally friendly practices.

In August 2023, Digital Edge sought a strategic partnership with SolX Technologies Inc. to further its sustainability mission. Recognized for its innovative solutions in energy management, SolX presented a comprehensive suite of products and services, culminating in a transformative collaboration. As part of this initiative, Digital Edge adopted SolX's Energy Portfolio Management services, which include advanced analytics, compliance tools, energy insights, procurement solutions, and renewable energy options.

Carlos “Charlie” S. Rufino, Chairman of the Rufino Group’s Digital Edge Philippines, emphasized the significance of this partnership during the official announcement on August 15, 2023, at One Rockwell: "We have been very happy as a group to have engaged with you, and we believe that as we close our first contract, we will achieve significant savings. As you know, for data centers, 60% of our operating expenses are due to power." This statement highlights the critical role of energy optimization in reducing operational costs, especially for data centers that heavily rely on electricity.

Matt Tan, Chief Operating Officer of SolX Technologies, reaffirmed their shared commitment to sustainability: “Our collaboration with Digital Edge empowers us to enhance energy visibility and develop innovative strategies that not only reduce costs but also commit to sustainable practices. We are dedicated to delivering solutions that align with our shared vision for a greener future.”

This partnership serves as a powerful example for other businesses in the tech industry, demonstrating how strategic collaborations can drive significant environmental benefits while fostering economic efficiency. As the data center sector continues to grow, the message is clear: proactive engagement in sustainability is not just a responsibility but also an opportunity for innovation and growth.
