CyrusOne has plans to purchase solar and wind power delivered to the electricity grid, acting as another important step in CyrusOne’s transition to 100 percent sustainable power.
The purchase is part of an expansion of the company’s ongoing business relationship with Gexa Energy, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources and premier provider of energy supply, optimization and sustainability solutions to commercial and residential customers in Texas.
The purchase includes a solar offtake of 30 megawatts (MW) (approximately 75,000 megawatts hours/MWh) and wind offtake comprising 10 MW (approximately 33,000 MWh). This will result in approximately 85 percent of CyrusOne’s ERCOT deregulated load in North Texas being supplied by renewable-energy sources by the end of 2023.
