Equinix Expands Silicon Valley Campus with New $142M Highly Energy Efficient Data Center | Equinix, Inc.: 

SV11 is targeting LEED Silver certification with an ultra-low design average annual Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.17. SV11 customers can benefit from reductions of their CO2 footprint through Equinix's renewable energy procurement strategy and the use of energy-efficient systems throughout the facility. Additionally, with expansion of the current Bloom Energy fuel cells, the campus is planned for 20 megawatt (MW) of capacity, and will be the first time Equinix will use the system as primary generation with utility electrical grid and generators as backup sources. This continues Equinix's exploration of alternative fuel sources for both energy reliability and sustainability.
