QTS Realty Trust has signed a definitive 20-year agreement with Georgia Power subscribing to nearly 350 megawatts of new renewable energy that is being added to the power grid.
The agreement, part of Georgia Power's Customer Renewable Supply Procurement (CRSP) tariff, supports Georgia Power’s Atlanta-Metro and Suwanee Georgia data-center campuses. Through CRSP, energy from as much as 1,000 megawatts of renewable resources will be available for subscription by new and existing commercial and industrial customers.
QTS will purchase the renewable energy at a fixed rate that will allow it to offer its customers among the lowest power costs in the Atlanta market. With this agreement, 90 percent of the power delivered to QTS' current data-center footprint will be procured from renewable-energy sources, with additional initiatives underway to reach 100 percent across the entire QTS footprint by 2025.
