Iron Mountain to purchase power from 220 MW wind farm in Kansas
Iron Mountain Incorporated™ has announced the signing of a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with an affiliate of NextEra Energy Resources for 145 MW of new wind energy from the Pretty Prairie Wind Farm, located in Reno County, Kansas, central USA.
NextEra Energy Resources will build, own, and operate the Pretty Prairie project, with Iron Mountain purchasing a portion of the electricity it generates. When completed, Iron Mountain's portion of the project will generate enough clean, renewable electricity to power the equivalent of 56,000 U.S. homes and will reduce fossil fuel emissions equivalent to removing more than 101,000 cars from the road annually.
With this agreement, coupled with other recent green power purchases, Iron Mountain expects to exceed 75% global renewable electricity usage in 2018, and move the company closer to its goal of 100% renewable power by 2050. 100% of the company's data center business now operates on renewable electricity.
Iron Mountain worked with Schneider Electric Energy & Sustainability Services to identify and evaluate projects and arrange the deal.
