Google is to buy all the electricity from the 81MW Hedet wind farm in Finland when the project becomes operational at the end of next year.
The facility, which is located at Narpes in the west of the country, is owned by Neoen (80%) and Prokon Finland (20%).
Construction of the 18-turbine wind farm is expected to start by the end of the year.
Neoen chief executive Xavier Barbaro said: “We are delighted that Google has elected to work with us. Supplying a leading multinational with green electricity in Finland, where renewable energy is encouraged, is completely in line with our strategy and our capabilities.
“Yet again, we demonstrate our potential to grow within Europe and to broaden our horizons thanks to competitive assets, solid foundations and a long-term outlook. Our customer base now includes several large companies as well as nation states and public authorities.
“By producing the most competitively priced renewable electricity locally, sustainably and on a large scale, we have become a world leader in energy transition and are proud to call Google a customer.”
