Google announces a power purchase agreement in Belgium together with ENGIE. Google will be buying a 92 MW capacity from the Norther offshore wind project, while Engie will take out half the facility's output.
Norther is located 23 kilometers off the coast of Belgian port Zeebruges and has a total capacity of 370 megawatts, the largest production capacity of all Belgian wind farms. The facility uses 44 units of MHI Vestas’ V164-8.4 MW turbines. The development of the project also involves the design and supply of 89 cable protection systems for the inner array and export links. There is a total of 45 foundations, which amounts to about 47 million kilos of steel.
Norther provides clean energy close to 400,000 Belgian households.
The wind facility is owned by Elicio NV, Mitsubishi Corp, and Eneco Holding NV.
