Digital Realty, a global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center, colocation and interconnection solutions, announced a new 7.5-year power and renewable energy credit agreement with Citi to supply clean, renewable energy for Digital Realty's portfolio of data centers in the Dallas, Texas region.
EDF Energy Services serves as Digital Realty’s retail electricity supplier in ERCOT and is coordinating the supply. The Citi contract will supply approximately 30% of Digital Realty's electricity needs in ERCOT.
The renewable energy is being generated by Bearkat Wind Energy II LLC’s project in Glasscock County, Texas which will serve a portion of the power needed to operate Digital Realty’s 13 data centers in the Greater Dallas area.
The Citi transaction provides Digital Realty with over 260,000 megawatt-hours of renewable energy annually, which represents 55% of the wind generation project output being developed by Bearkat Wind Energy II, LLC.
