Our goal is to offer real-time, transparent carbon content of power, coupled with market-driven incentives for procuring zero-carbon power 24/365.

The Power Working Group (PWG) is focused on decarbonization of data center energy, its uses, and the larger power infrastructure that supports our facilities and communities.

We work towards our goals by:

  • Identifying opportunities to highlight environmental and financial benefits of cleaner power within our facilities and the grid
  • Providing insights and technical guidance on contract requirements to ensure benefit to both power users and providers
  • Showcasing cleaner energy sources to promote reductions in carbon emissions associated with consumption
  • Advocating for policy changes (internal, local, and global) that incentivize the adoption of clean energy solutions and encourage the development of innovative technologies for energy optimization
  • Collaborating across industries and sharing best practices to further accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future
  • Supporting both a Power-specific and broader iMasons Climate Accord Maturity Model
