Alibaba Cloud, Alibaba Group’s computer arm, boosted its use of clean energy and leveraged cloud-native technology to make this year’s 11.11 Global Shopping Festival its most eco-friendly to date.
Alibaba Cloud used over 32 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to support this 11.11 from clean energy, a 30% increase from last year on an average daily basis. Clean energy, coupled with cloud-based technology, powered many of the customer engagement tools rolled out across Alibaba’s marketplaces during 11.11, also known as Double 11 or Single’s Day.
Alibaba said it will power its global data centers entirely with clean energy by 2030. It doubled clean energy use at its five hyper-scale data centers in China to support this year’s 11.11 from last year. And its Heyuan hyper-scale data center in Guangdong province in Southern China already consumes 100% clean energy.
