Invenergy has signed a 100MW wind power purchase agreement with Equinix to provide electricity to support all of its data centers across North America.

The agreement includes the sale of electricity from the Wake wind energy facility located in Texas.

The deal brings Invenergy’s corporate customer portfolio to 225MW, following last week’s 125MW PPA with Owens Corning, an insulation, roofing and fiberglass manufacturer.

Invenergy vice president of sales and marketing Craig Gordon said: “We’re very pleased to help Equinix meet its long-term renewable energy and sustainability goals.

“The growing demand for new data storage facilities to support the explosive growth of cloud computing is equally matched with the demand to power-up those facilities in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way.

“We applaud Equinix’s commitment to meeting their power supply needs for all their data centers from clean renewable energy sources like wind and solar.”
