I’m also interested in the answer to this question. I would also be willing to pay a surcharge if necessary.
We have datacenters located in the NYC area (located in the Equinix and Telx datacenters), San Francisco (Telx), and in Amsterdam (TelecityGroup). You can check what kind of electricity each datacenter runs on on its website.
