As things stand, you can't earn points under this credit. Since the green power is not Green-e certified or the equivalent, it doesn't meet the credit threshold. Secondly, there is nothing connecting this facility with that green power. For all you know, there might be other customers who have purchased all this power specifically due to its environmental attributes, leaving nothing left to allocate to the utility HQ.You would need to establish Green-e equivalence and then find a way of "selling" that power to the building, or just buy some Green-e RECs on the open market. It's pretty cheap right now.
