Invenergy has signed a 225MW wind power purchase agreement with Google to provide renewable energy to support its data centre operations.
The deal was first announced during the COP21 conference in Paris in December 2015 and Invenergy is one of six renewable partners Google is partnering with on projects with a total capacity of 842MW. Google’s Invenergy tie-up is the largest of the six.
In late 2015, Invenergy completed several other wind PPA’s with other corporate companies taking the company’s total corporate customer wind portfolio to 570 MW.
“We are thrilled to bring our innovation in energy to Google, a company famous for their innovation in technology,” said Invenergy’s Vice President Craig Gordon.
“Their commitment to using renewable energy sources to power their data centers represents a significant change in the way big corporations are thinking about sustainability and we are proud to be a part of those efforts.”
The Google deal includes the sale of wind energy from the 225MW Bethel wind farm in Texas which will be delivered into the southwest power pool, a regional electricity grid.
