Digital Realty & Schneider: Powering Net Zero Data Centers

“We are proud to support our customers’ goals of reducing their carbon footprint,” says Grégoire Simon, CEO of French company wpd Onshore. “PPAs offer cost-effective and predictable energy supply solutions for companies looking to engage in the energy transition.”

In total, the five PPAs represent approximately 347 GWh of renewable energy, enough to power 200,000 European households per year. These projects will expand the pool of renewable energy across Europe, where as of 2020, Digital Realty’s operations are 100% geared to renewable energy.

Marc Garner, vice president of Secure Power in Europe at Schneider Electric, added: “The data center industry is one of the most critical sectors in the world, powering the global digital economy and driving the green transformation through the adoption, generation and development of renewable energy.
