Delta Electronics, a leading power management technology provider, plans to construct its own renewable energy plants in India and Thailand to accelerate its global supply chain decarbonization efforts, Nikkei reported. Jesse Chou, Delta’s vice president and chief sustainability officer, revealed that these two countries present the most significant challenges in accessing green electricity.
The company achieved 76% renewable energy usage globally last year, but its Southeast Asian operations lagged at 41%, while India reached only 12%. In contrast, Delta’s operations in China and Europe attained 91% and 100% renewable energy usage, respectively.
Delta, a key supplier for Nvidia’s GB200 server systems, is also developing hydrogen fuel cell technologies with mass production targeted for 2026. The company has committed to the RE100 initiative, pledging 100% renewable electricity and carbon neutrality by 2030.
Chou emphasized the importance of considering extreme weather and local biodiversity when expanding manufacturing operations. Delta is currently building a solar power plant and evaluating wind farms in India, while securing land in Thailand for solar facility development.
As tech suppliers diversify beyond China, the lack of renewable electricity in Asian countries has become a significant challenge. Delta’s proactive approach to building its own green energy infrastructure highlights the growing importance of sustainable practices in the tech industry’s global supply chain strategies.
