ReNew Energy Global Plc (NASDAQ:RNW) on Tuesday inked a green attribute sale contract of 437.6 MW with Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT).

This contract is anticipated to produce over one million units of green electricity attributes each year, supporting Microsoft’s goal to achieve carbon negativity by 2030.

Under the agreement, ReNew will allocate around $15 million of the contract’s revenue to a community fund dedicated to environmental justice initiatives.

“Microsoft has ambitious renewable energy and decarbonization goals. This agreement with ReNew accelerates our progress towards these goals while benefiting local communities through initiatives such as rural electrification and initiatives to improve women’s livelihoods,” said Puneet Chandok, President, Microsoft India & South Asia.
