    Microsoft said in a statement that it will purchase Sunseap's 60 MW solar power project to produce all the electricity for its Singapore data center operations
    over the next 20 years.
    Sunseap's solar project includes a series of solar panels covering hundreds of rooftops
    throughout the city.

    "This deal is Microsoft's first renewable energy deal in Asia and its third international clean energy deal
    after two wind deals in Ireland and the Netherlands announced in 2017.
    " Christian Belady, general manager of cloud infrastructure strategy and architecture at Microsoft, said
    .

    Microsoft said it is on track to exceed its goal
    of using renewable energy in 50 percent of its global data centers this year.

    "Once operational, the new solar project will bring Microsoft's total global direct procurement of renewable energy projects to 860 megawatts
    ," Belady said.

    Microsoft said the solar project is under construction and will be operational
    by the end of the year.
