Overview
Who Microsoft actually does business with on power, data centres, gas, land and carbon — every counterparty named on a Microsoft deal in the Sherpa record, with how often, in what role, and what else they do.
The profile reads 55 deals and 103 counterparties across 17 markets, party by party and deal by deal: the role Microsoft takes on each deal, the deal register with each record’s own description, parties and source, a KYC file on each counterparty, the shared supply base with Google, Meta, Amazon and Apple, who comes back for a second deal, what is disclosed and what is not, and the network to three degrees.
Every count describes what the Sherpa record holds, not Microsoft’s total activity. Not investment advice.
What this edition covers
Eighteen sections: a summary; every company Microsoft does business with, sorted by type; what kind of counterparty Microsoft is; the network to three degrees and who opens it; the network around the deals; a KYC file on each of the 103 counterparties; the shared supply base with other hyperscalers; incumbency; disclosed value; gas; land and development; carbon and hydrogen; shared platforms; lenders; measurement against Microsoft’s own stated figures; entities held under more than one name; and the contract layer.
Who this is for
Developers, IPPs and utilities pitching Microsoft; lenders and investors financing projects with a Microsoft offtake; advisers and data-centre suppliers mapping who already sells to it; and anyone running counterparty due diligence on Microsoft’s infrastructure supply chain.
