The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
ENGIE announced a 48 MWac solar power purchase agreement (PPA) with QTS to supply renewable energy to the company's data center operations in Irving, Texas.
The agreement was executed in parallel with a long-term PPA between ENGIE and ABEI Energy, securing renewable generation from ABEI Energy's Lubio Solar project in north-central Texas.
QTS is a long-standing ENGIE customer
"Together, these agreements further strengthen the long-standing partnership between ENGIE and QTS while expanding ENGIE's renewable energy footprint in the ERCOT market," ENGIE said
"Data center customers continue to seek long-term, dependable renewable energy solutions that align with both operational and sustainability goals," said Taymur Bunkheila, Regional Vice President, Key Accounts and Energy+, ENGIE North America. "ENGIE's global experience and integrated capabilities enable us to structure customized solutions that seamlessly combine renewable generation with retail power supply."
Lubio Solar is an approximately 61 MWac pre-commercial-operation-date solar project located in Kaufman County, Texas, developed by ABEI Energy. Once operational, the project is expected to generate approximately 150 GWh of electricity annually. This transaction marks ABEI Energy's first renewable energy deal with ENGIE in the United States, building on an established partnership between the two companies in Europe.
