German energy utility giant EnBW and US technology giant Google have entered into a long-term power purchase agreement for the supply of 100MW of clean electricity from the He Dreiht offshore wind farm over a period of 15 years.

Google aims to operate its global operations on carbon-free energy by 2030, meaning that every hour of energy consumption is matched 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 position as a provider of tailor-made, long-term energy solutions.

The He Dreiht offshore wind farm, currently under construction in the German North Sea, will be one of the largest offshore wind projects in Europe. With an installed capacity of 960 megawatts, it will make a substantial contribution to Germany’s renewable energy supply.

Most of the electricity generated by the project has already been secured through long-term PPAs, with EnBW continuing discussions with additional potential offtakers for the remaining volumes.

“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,” said Peter Heydecker, member of the EnBW board of management for sustainable generation infrastructure.

“Meeting the demand for AI infrastructure requires direct investment in the energy systems that make this technology possible. By contracting for new wind power from EnBW, we are bringing more clean energy online in Germany to power our operations, while accelerating the broader transition to a more sustainable electricity grid,” added Adam Elman, director of sustainability EMEA at Google.

This deal follows Amazon and RWE signing a power purchase agreement for 110MW from the German company’s Nordseecluster B offshore wind farm earlier this week.
