Digital Realty, a provider of data center, colocation and interconnection solutions, announced that it is expanding its renewable energy and sustainability initiatives with a long-term power purchase agreement to source solar power for a portion of its Northern Virginia portfolio, and a utility green tariff to supply renewable power to its Oregon data center development project.

The long-term power purchase agreement with ENGIE North America will supply Digital Realty's Northern Virginia data centers with 107,000 additional megawatt-hours of renewable solar power annually. The 50-megawatt project will bring the company's total new wind and solar power under contract to 338 megawatts and is expected to come online in late 2020.

Digital Realty also signed a green tariff agreement with Portland General Electric (PGE) which will supply approximately 120,000 megawatt-hours annually to Digital Realty's data center development project in Hillsboro, Oregon under the large customer option of the utility's recently launched Green Future Impact program. Through this program, PGE worked with Digital Realty and other large customers to source new solar or wind generation in Oregon under long-term contracts. PGE will retire the renewable energy credits generated by the solar or wind project on behalf of each enrolled customer.
