Microsoft announces new solar power and wind energy agreements in the US

Microsoft has now announced two renewable energy deals in the US. First, Microsoft has signed a 74-megawatt solar project in North Carolina with Invenergy, a leading U.S.-based, privately held global developer and operator of sustainable energy solutions. Via the 15-year power purchase agreement, Microsoft will consume the whole energy generated at the Wilkinson Solar Energy Center.
