this answer is a no answer... if you are answering on behalf of digitalocean, I'm sorry for you guys that you have no power to answer clearly and properly to a very easy question.
E.g. NYC 100% renewable
Europe 100% renewable
wherever 50% renewable
wherever else 0% renewable
this is an other example how google is stating their energy policy https://cloud.google.com/why-google/ :
"Carbon neutral and invested in renewable energy
Google has been carbon-neutral since 2007, investing over $1.5 billion in renewable energy projects. We’re using renewable energy to power over 35% of our operations and we’ve committed to using wind and solar as much as possible by investing in renewable energy projects to grow the industry."
the answer, isn't an answer but a "I suggest you ..."
It's really clear to me that digitalocean isn't explicitly interested about green energy. If someone can prove the opposite, I'd be glad to ear it ;)
Today feels like a good day to bump this thread. Digital Ocean, can you please supply information about your energy suppliers in 2018 and if you have plans to move to renewable sources.
I'm also interested in the answer to this question. I would also be willing to pay a surcharge if necessary.
I would love to know which of the Digital Ocean regions run on sustainable energy.
