Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Google Join Forces for Green Energy in The Netherlands
Key Ideas
- Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Google signed a power purchase agreement for 250MW of wind power from the Zeevonk project in the Netherlands.
- The Zeevonk project, a collaboration between Vattenfall and CIP, integrates offshore wind, solar energy, and green hydrogen, with a large-scale electrolyser plant to produce green hydrogen in Rotterdam.
- The partnership aims to support Google's decarbonization goals, providing carbon-free energy for its operations in the Netherlands and globally, contributing to the Dutch energy transition with a focus on hydrogen.
- CIP's Energy Transition Fund I, the largest green hydrogen fund globally, is driving the development of the Zeevonk project as part of the transition to renewable energy sources for data centers and other energy-intensive industries.
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Google have reached a significant milestone by signing a power purchase agreement in the Netherlands. Google will purchase 250MW of wind power from the Zeevonk project, a venture between Vattenfall and CIP that incorporates offshore wind, solar energy, and green hydrogen. The Zeevonk project includes a 2 GW offshore wind farm and a 50MW floating offshore solar farm, along with plans for a large-scale electrolyser plant in Rotterdam to produce green hydrogen. This initiative is part of Google's commitment to operate on 24/7 Carbon Free Energy (CFE) by 2030. CIP's Energy Transition Fund I, with a strong focus on green hydrogen, is leading the way with approximately 6.5 GW of electrolyser capacity globally. The collaboration between CIP and Google not only supports decarbonization efforts but also contributes to the Dutch energy transition, emphasizing the pivotal role of hydrogen in the future energy landscape.
