Energie Baden-Württemberg AG (EnBW) and Google have entered into a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) under which EnBW will supply Google with 100 megawatts of clean electricity from the He Dreiht offshore wind farm over a period of 15 years.
Google aims to operate its global operations on 24/7 carbon free energy by 2030, meaning that every hour of energy consumption by the company is matched hourly with an equal amount of carbon-free energy on the same grid. By supplying green electricity from its offshore wind portfolio, EnBW is directly supporting Google in advancing its 24/7 carbon-free energy ambitions while further strengthening its own position as a company for tailor-made, long term energy solutions.
Peter Heydecker, Member of the EnBW Board of Management for Sustainable Generation Infrastructure, emphasized: “This agreement with Google sends a strong signal for the transformation of the energy market. We are proud to support one of the world’s leading technology companies on its journey toward greater sustainability. By delivering a customized PPA solution, EnBW is making a direct contribution to the decarbonization of industry and the digital economy”. He adds: “With He Dreiht and our PPA with Google, we are demonstrating that large-scale, clean energy solutions are already a reality today. Together, we are helping to power innovation and progress with renewable energy – reliably and around the clock.”
