London, UK – 17 March 2025 – Telehouse International Corporation of Europe, a leading global data centre service provider, today announces it has signed a 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with RWE, the UK’s largest power generator and a world leading renewable energy company.
Under the agreement RWE will supply a substantial amount of the renewable energy used at Telehouse’s London Docklands campus, Europe’s most connected data centre hub, until the end of 2035.

Olaf Lubenow, Head of Commodity Solutions UK, North & South Europe of RWE Supply & Trading, said: “This power purchase agreement ensures Telehouse and its customers have reliable access to clean, renewable electricity, providing certainty on the robustness of supply. We are pleased to support Telehouse also in its decarbonisation efforts as our goal is to advance climate protection in all sectors of the economy with clean energy solutions.”
