SSE Renewables and FuturEnergy Ireland have jointly announced that Microsoft has entered into a long-term Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) for the 30 MW Wind farm newly commissioned Lenalea Wind Farm near Letterkenny, County Donegal, Ireland.
Under the terms of the Corporate PPA, the renewable electricity produced by the seven Vestas V117-4.3MW onshore wind turbines at Lenalea Wind Farm will contribute towards Microsoft’s goal of powering its data centre operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025.
The wind farm is a 50/50 joint venture onshore wind project between SSE Renewables and FuturEnergy. It can generate enough low carbon renewable energy to power over 20,000 Irish homes annually and offset almost 20,000 metric tonnes of carbon per annum
