Microsoft and Google have both signed new agreements for using more renewable energy sources for their datacenters as part of efforts to lower their IT operations’ carbon footprint.
Search giant Google unveiled its power purchase agreement (PPA) signed with Engie, a French utility company, for 100 MW of energy generated by the Moray West offshore wind farm in Scotland to power its operations in the U.K.
Meanwhile, Microsoft announced its own PPAs in Ireland that supply more than 900 MW of new renewable electricity for its datacenters located there.
