In a move reflecting the accelerating pace of big tech investments in green infrastructure, Avangrid has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Microsoft for the Bluebird Solar project in Washington. This agreement adds 140 MW of solar capacity to the tech giant's portfolio, supporting its long-term sustainability targets. Following this deal, the total contracted energy capacity between Avangrid and Microsoft in the United States now exceeds 500 MW.
This partnership comes as hyperscalers compete to secure clean energy for data centers, with Microsoft previously committing to becoming carbon negative by 2030. In comparison to peers, Amazon (AMZN) remains the world's largest corporate buyer of renewable energy per market data, while Microsoft continues to close the gap through strategic deals with major utility players like Iberdrola, Avangrid's parent company.
