Iron Mountain Incorporated, a data storage and information management company, announced today that it has closed on what it said is the largest on-site solar power-purchase agreement (PPA) contract to date.

The 7.2 MW-rated solar installation at Iron Mountain's data center in Edison, New Jersey (NJE-1) is forecast to generate more than 9 Million KWhrs per year. The solar installation will provide approximately 15 percent of the data center's current energy load.

Developed in collaboration with a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, and Black Bear Energy, which facilitated the project acting as the owner's representative to Iron Mountain, the project is slated for completion at the end of 2019. It will be the largest rooftop solar installation of any data center in the USA, Iron Mountain said

Akamai is among the clients of Iron Mountain's NJE-1 data center, and is utilizing Iron Mountain's Green Power Pass program, which enables Iron Mountain data center customers to report carbon emission reductions associated with the green power consumed at any Iron Mountain data center worldwide.
