IRON MOUNTAIN DATA CENTERS ( IMDC ) GREEN POWER PASS OFFERING
“ We ’ re very proud of the Green Power Pass ,” says Boonstra . “ Iron Mountain Data Centres is the first operator in the industry that has launched this kind of portfolio-wide renewable power solution .”
Prior to its Green Power Pass offering , Sharp details that customers with colocation data centers couldn ’ t use renewable energy that was being consumed there as part of their own sustainability reporting . “ We didn ’ t think that was very fair . So we worked together with industry leading organisations such as Future of Internet Power ( FoIP ) and the
Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance ( REBA ) in the US to come to a solution where customers can now claim colocation power consumption from the minute they sign a contract with us . We can do this because we provide a very clear audit trail in terms of where the energy comes from and how it ’ s deployed within the data centers , as well as an audit letter of attestation at the end of every year to our customers to explain what power they ’ ve used and where it was sourced from so they can apply it to their own corporate social responsibility reporting .”
