UK data center developer Virtus has signed a corporate Power Purchase Agreement (cPPA) for 31MW of wind power from the Lynn and Inner Dowsing (LID) windfarms, a pair of offshore wind farms in the North Sea. Virtus will offtake 16 percent of the total generation from LID, with a commencement date of 1 October 2025.
“As an energy-intensive user, we know it’s our responsibility to minimize the environmental impact from all our data center facilities. Hence, since going live with our first site in 2011, we have been procuring power from 100 percent renewable sources. We are committed to delivering reliable, resilient, and responsible digital infrastructure to our customers and operate the gold standard in sustainable data centers in the UK and Europe,” said Helen Kinsman, SVP commercial and regulatory affairs at Virtus.
Bailey Bradley, managing director and co-founder XceCo, said of the deal: “The successful delivery of this cPPA for one of our offshore wind farm assets under management stands as a testament to the exceptional collaboration between XceCo and all stakeholders involved in delivering this transaction."
