NTT DATA and ENGIE announce strategic partnership to power sustainable AI and data center growth

NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business, and technology services, and ENGIE, a major player in the energy transition, today announced a strategic partnership to support the decarbonization, energy resilience, and sustainable expansion of NTT DATA’s global data center operations.

ENGIE’s global leadership in renewable energy and low-carbon solutions will help NTT DATA grow its data centers and AI infrastructure while meeting its net-zero goals.

Moving Beyond Traditional Energy Supply Agreements

The partnership reflects NTT DATA’s commitment to securing the long-term energy solutions required to support the next generation of AI, cloud, and digital infrastructure growth. Rather than operating within a traditional supplier framework, the long-term collaboration spans renewable energy procurement, power supply, and integrated energy solutions across priority markets.

Through this collaboration, ENGIE will support NTT DATA in addressing one of the most critical challenges facing the digital economy: securing reliable, competitive, and low-carbon energy at scale to enable the continued expansion of data centers and AI-driven infrastructure.

This multinational arrangement supports NTT DATA’s global data center expansion strategy, with working agreements already signed in the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany. In the UK, NTT DATA has agreed to a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) with supply to serve its data centers until September 2030 from an RE100-compatible 24 MW wind farm in South Wales.

Executive Perspectives on AI Scale and Sustainability

“AI is transforming every industry, and long-term success depends on ensuring that AI is sustainable. Sustainability is both a competitive differentiator and a value creator. This partnership with ENGIE reflects our belief that energy transition and AI transformation must advance together, enabling us to innovate and scale responsibly while delivering long-term value for our clients and society.”

David Costa, Chief Sustainability Officer at NTT DATA, Inc.

“This partnership gives us the energy foundation we need to keep pace with accelerating AI demand without compromising on our sustainability commitments. Securing long-term access to renewable power at scale is one of the defining challenges for our industry right now, and working with a partner like ENGIE lets us continue our growth with confidence — for our clients, for our company and for the environment.”

Doug Adams, CEO of NTT Global Data Centers

“Our partnership with NTT DATA is an exciting synergy between our industries, with both parties working to address the energy requirements of the data and AI revolution with renewable and sustainable solutions.”

Nicolas Lefèvre-Marton, Group Vice President Data Center Acceleration & Strategy Partnerships, ENGIE

“This CPPA is the result of a deep understanding of NTT DATA’s needs, demonstrating how a collaborative approach can deliver innovative solutions and sustainable infrastructure to support long-term growth and decarbonization ambitions.”

Miya Paolucci, CEO of ENGIE UK

Renewable Integration and Power Architecture at Go Digital Energy

The deployment of Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs), 24/7 carbon-free energy matching strategies, and integrated energy management frameworks for high-density AI data center infrastructure will be topics of discussion at next year’s Go Digital Energy summit.
