HOUSTON, Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ENGIE Energy Marketing (ENGIE) today announced an innovative agreement to provide renewable energy to cover the consumption of select Microsoft data centers in Texas. By utilizing existing renewable energy contracts between the two companies, this collaboration will accelerate Microsoft's mission to transition to 100% carbon-free energy on an hourly basis by 2030.

ENGIE is well positioned to deliver on Microsoft's ambition through its integrated approach โ from building and operating renewable energy generation and storage assets to sourcing power through its global energy management activities.
