NTT Data added that the collaboration will help it address a critical challenge in the digital economy of securing reliable, competitive and low-carbon energy at scale to enable the continued expansion of data centers and AI-driven infrastructure.

Doug Adams, CEO of NTT Global Data Centers, said:

This partnership gives us the energy foundation we need to keep pace with accelerating AI demand without compromising on our sustainability commitments. Securing long-term access to renewable power at scale is one of the defining challenges for our industry right now, and working with a partner like ENGIE lets us continue our growth with confidence — for our clients, for our company and for the environment.

The agreement is a multinational arrangement that supports NTT Data’s global data center expansion strategy, with working agreements already signed in the UK, the Netherlands and Germany. As part of the agreement, NTT Data said it has signed a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA), with supply from an RE100-compatible 24 MW wind farm in South Wales to serve its data centers until September 2030.

Nicolas Lefèvre-Marton, Group Vice President Data Center Acceleration & Strategy Partnerships, Engie, said:

Our partnership with NTT DATA is an exciting synergy between our industries, with both parties working to address the energy requirements of the data and AI revolution with renewable and sustainable solutions.
