Powering the Platform with Clean Energy at Global Scale

We aim to power Akamai’s global operations with 100% renewable energy. To achieve this, we will continue strategically investing in purchaser-caused renewable energy, such as power purchase agreements (PPA) or virtual power purchase agreements (VPPA). We aim to add net-new renewable energy to the grid whenever possible, and obtain bundled and traceable renewable energy credits to align against our operations.

Due to the global footprint of our platform, we must rely on energy sources worldwide, including in regions where renewable energy isn’t always reliable or readily accessible. Where we can’t source purchaser-caused renewable energy or work directly with our colocation partners, we intend to procure renewable power as close to our operations as possible through meaningful utility, supplier, or other market-based options that provide reliable traceability of Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), such as Green-e certification or those that meet local mandatory compliance standards.
