Additionally, Orange stated that the two new facilities in France will be utilizing an outside-air free-cooling system for 10 months in the year while operating with a PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) of about 1.3.
Orange has signed PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) with Boralex, Engie, and TotalEnergies for powering its three data centers through renewable energy sources. The trio will be offering a total of 170MW of wind and solar energy.
