ENGIE to supply renewable energy to Microsoft Data Centers in Texas
In France, ENGIE Energy Marketing (ENGIE) announced an agreement to provide renewable energy to cover the consumption of select Microsoft data centers in Texas.
By utilizing existing renewable energy contracts between the two companies, this collaboration will accelerate Microsoft’s mission to transition to 100% carbon-free energy on an hourly basis by 2030, ENGIE said.
This customized agreement will allow Microsoft to match ERCOT data center load with clean power. ENGIE will source the energy from their portfolio of wind, solar and battery projects in Texas.
“Microsoft continues to be a leader in the market for corporate renewable energy procurement and a key alliance for ENGIE in the Net Zero energy transition,” said Ken Robinson, ENGIE Energy Marketing N.A. President and CEO. ” We are proud to help them achieve their ambitions, where many other companies continue to struggle. Our goal is to grow our 24×7 hourly carbon-free matching program in key markets with electricity generated from zero carbon energy sources including wind and solar.”
