Cambridge MC helps Telehouse to design a new Renewable Sourcing Strategy
By using our expertise to analyse their past environmental commitments in order to project future forecasts
Telehouse is a provider of industry-leading data centre colocation services, with global connectivity and reach. Owned by KDDI, a Japanese Fortune 500 company and one of the top 10 global telecom companies.
Telehouse is acutely aware of the importance of having a robust and consistent renewable sourcing strategy and a clear plan of how it will be achieved as their business grows.
Cambridge MC and its sister environmental consultancy, edenseven, were commissioned by Telehouse to help build their long-term renewable sourcing strategy and delivery structure for their UK business. The aim was to enable greater cost certainty, reduced risk and access to renewable projects that meet Telehouse’s specific requirements.

The
Request
Telehouse had four main requests:
1) Outline the current contracting market and the different types of structures available to Telehouse when sourcing long-term renewable contracts
2) To clearly define Telehouse's long-term renewable resourcing strategy, including an outline of the type of technology, terms of contract, pricing boundaries, and operational structures to put in place
3) To create a delivery plan against key timelines and the relevant stages and resources in the process
4) Provide a sourcing model which will satisfy Telehouse's long-term renewable energy requirements
Skills and Knowledge
