Case Study: ENGIE achieves large-scale renewable energy supply and sustainability leadership with QTS Realty Trust

Big Data Management Meets Big Energy Innovation

QTS Data Centers, a multibillion-dollar data center operator, made sustainability a core value and set an ambitious goal to join the RE100 by 2019 and procure 100% renewable energy by 2025. Facing rapidly growing data traffic and energy demand—plus the need to manage volumetric and price risk while preserving uptime at its 700,000 sq ft Irving, Texas facility in ERCOT—QTS sought a practical, market-aligned path to expand its renewable supply and strengthen its low‑carbon brand.

ENGIE delivered a tailored easyRE physical green supply solution: a 100% hedged green power block sourced from the nearby Flat Top wind farm, bundled RECs, retail balancing and scheduling services, and access to ENGIE’s 20/20 reporting. The approach scaled to additional wind resources, enabling QTS to use more than 304 million kWh of green power annually (over 32% of U.S. needs), earn top EPA green-power rankings, and formally join RE100 with a commitment to 100% renewables by 2025.
