How much energy do data centers use?
QTS facilities are designed to operate within the existing planning, regulatory and utility requirements for the area. We work directly with local utilities to ensure that our power needs do not impact the reliability of service for homes or businesses and the surrounding areas. While we don’t disclose specific power capacity for security and confidentiality […]
Who pays for increased energy demand or upgrades to energy infrastructure?
QTS pays for the energy costs of our data centers so they do not increase local utility bills. We coordinate early with utility companies and secure long-term power agreements, ensuring supportive grid planning and sufficient power capacity.
What is QTS’s commitment to sustainable energy?
QTS is focused on a long-term path to accessing clean energy, with the aspiration of a clean energy future. In 2024, QTS achieved full utilization of carbon-free operational electricity across our facilities. We partner with utility companies to identify innovative and sustainable ways to best serve communities and the environment.
