Google Announces Largest Offshore Wind Projects in Collaboration with Shell and Eneco

Google has announced its largest offshore wind projects to date in collaboration with Shell and Eneco. The agreements involve Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for two new offshore wind farms, HKN V and HKW VI, with a combined capacity of 478 megawatts. These projects are expected to contribute approximately 6% of the Netherlands' annual electricity consumption. Google aims to achieve 90% carbon-free energy for its data centers and offices in the Netherlands by 2024 and net-zero emissions by 2030. The company is also investing in local sustainable energy initiatives, including solar panels and heat recovery systems.
