Vattenfall and Microsoft in Sweden piloted 24/7 Matching solution last year and are now intensifying the partnership as energy partners. The 24/7 Matching solution will be used in the new Microsoft datacenters in Sweden to measure renewable energy consumption per hour.
Vattenfall will also deliver EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) labelled hydro and wind power 24/7 to the three datacenters in 2021.
Microsoft globally has made a commitment to use 100 percent renewable energy in their buildings and datacenters by 2025. To support Microsoft with this goal in Sweden, all energy consumption from Swedish facilities will be matched using the 24/7 Matching solution.

Vattenfall is using Microsoft Azure IOT to build and deliver the 24/7 Matching solution that will allow hourly matching of renewable energy generation with demand 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Energy produced from renewable sources are measured hourly, and consumption is measured by smart meters installed on locations where energy is used. The transparency increases the understanding of energy use and climate impact.
