GE Renewable Energy has announced the signature of a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Google, to provide the technology giant with energy from the Björkvattnet Onshore Wind Farm in Sweden.
Under the corporate power purchase agreement (PPA), clean energy generated by the wind facility will be used to power Google’s data centres in the region.
Located 470km north of Stockholm, the 175 MW Björkvattnet wind farm was developed by Vindparken and WindSpace, with support from GE Renewable Energy. The project was later divested to InfraVia European Fund IV, which is managed by private equity firm InfraVia Capital Partners.
Last month, GE Renewable Energy agreed to supply 33 of its 5.3 MW Cypress turbines for the project, which will generate enough energy to power approximately 175,000 homes in Sweden.
The wind farm is expected to begin commercial operations in 2020.
