Google Signs PPA for Renewable Energy from Zeevonk Offshore Wind Project
Key Ideas
  • Google partners with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners for 250 MW of wind power from Zeevonk offshore wind project in the Netherlands.
  • Zeevonk project combines offshore wind, floating solar, and green hydrogen, contributing to Google's goal of 24/7 Carbon Free Energy by 2030.
  • The IJmuiden Ver Beta project includes a 2 GW offshore wind farm and a 50 MW floating offshore solar farm with plans for a large-scale electrolyser plant for green hydrogen.
  • The project, scheduled to be operational in 2029 without subsidies, aims to relieve pressure on the national power grid by converting a significant portion of generated electricity into green hydrogen.
Google has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) for 250 MW of energy capacity at the Zeevonk offshore wind project in the Netherlands. The agreement will power Google's Dutch operations for 15 years. The Zeevonk project, a joint venture between Vattenfall and CIP, incorporates offshore wind, floating solar, and green hydrogen. Google aims to achieve 24/7 Carbon Free Energy (CFE) by 2030 and views this partnership as a significant step towards that goal. The IJmuiden Ver Beta project, part of the initiative, features a large offshore wind farm, a floating solar farm, and plans for a 1 GW electrolyser plant for green hydrogen production. By converting a substantial amount of electricity into green hydrogen, the project intends to reduce strain on the national power grid. Scheduled for completion in 2029 without subsidies, the project showcases a sustainable approach to energy generation and consumption.
