Digital Realty has signed supply contracts that will enable it to achieve 100% renewable energy coverage across its data centers in Texas and New Jersey.
This significant milestone further solidifies Digital Realty’s position as an industry leader in sustainable data center operations.
In Texas, Digital Realty will transition to 100% renewable energy by adjusting its power supply contracts, supporting its Texas load in the Dallas, Houston and Austin markets with regionally sourced renewables.
The renewable energy coverage in Texas will be provided predominantly by a portfolio of wind and solar power purchase agreements (PPAs), supplemented by locally sourced renewable energy credits (RECs).
Additionally, New Jersey will utilize 100% renewable energy beginning on January 1, 2024. In conjunction with RECs from Digital Realty’s portfolio of operational PPAs, the company has increased the renewable capacity within its retail energy supply contracts, leveraging wind resources located in Pennsylvania, near its facilities in New Jersey.
In California, Digital Realty’s 200 Paul Ave facility in San Francisco achieved 100% renewable energy coverage in October 2023. The facility receives renewable energy directly from the local utility supplier – ensuring a sustainable power source for its operations.
“We understand the importance of aligning economic growth with our sustainability programs and remain dedicated to supporting our customers’ clean energy needs as they grow and scale,” said Aaron Binkley, VP Sustainability, Digital Realty.
“These new contracts bring us another step closer to achieving our Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTI) goals.”
