United Kingdom: Iron Mountain signs solar energy deal with InRange in UK

Iron Mountain has signed a new energy deal to procure solar power from rooftop solar sites in the UK which InRange which will supply 5MW annually to offset Iron Mountain’s LON-1 facility, aggregated from locally generated rooftop solar power from commercial and industrial buildings.

“In our pursuit of 24CFE (carbon free energy), matching our 100 percent clean energy consumption, 100 percent of the time, we're proud to have sealed a new partnership with InRange for our London (LON-1) data center,” the company said on LinkedIn this week.

“InRange’s innovative platform is completely unique,” said Chris Pennington, director of energy and sustainability at Iron Mountain Data Centers. “It enables Iron Mountain to export clean energy from our lower consumption records centers and contract for locally produced rooftop power for our data centers, all in one interface.”

John Mushriqui, founder and CEO of InRange, added: “Energy generation just isn’t in the business DNA of most companies; they want a one-stop shop to bring their carbon footprint down and lower their energy bills. That’s what we provide, while feeding more clean electricity back to the grid and to large power customers like Iron Mountain.”
