Digital Realty signs PPA for 158 MW of solar energy in USA

Digital Realty has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for the 158 MW of new solar power in California and Georgia, the USA.

The contracts include a 12-year agreement to support the development of a new 130 MW utility-scale PV solar project in Kern County, California. Developed by Terra-Gen as part of its 1,118 MW Edwards Sanborn Solar Storage energy project, the PV plant is one of the largest solar-plus-storage projects in the world and is expected to be completed in late-2022.

Additionally, Digital Realty is subscribing to Georgia Power's Customer Renewable Supply Procurement program. The company will receive 28 MW of new solar supply to support its Atlanta data center portfolio. The energy will be generated by new solar facilities located in Georgia. The program is expected to begin delivering power and renewable energy certificates to Digital Realty in 2024.
