ENGIE and Google signed a 24\/7 carbon-free energy supply agreement in Germany, a major milestone in the companies\u2019 existing collaboration. The 3-year agreement will contribute to Google\u2019s 2030 Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) target\u00a0for its data centers, cloud regions and offices worldwide.<\/p>\n\n
Under the terms of the agreement, ENGIE will assemble and negotiate an energy portfolio to supply Google with renewable power (solar and wind) to ensure that all its German operations are nearly 80% carbon-free by 2022. This is a first-of-a-kind in Europe where a company is guaranteeing carbon-free power supply 24\/7 on an annual basis from solar and wind generation. Altogether, ENGIE will supply Google with 140 MW of renewable electricity.\u00a0ENGIE will also provide comprehensive energy management services including sourcing of residual supply, balancing pool management, grid management, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n ENGIE and Google first partnered in 2019 when the companies entered into a 5-year power purchase agreement in Belgium for renewable power supply from an offshore wind project. This was followed by the award of a similar contract in The Netherlands, and now this carbon-free commitment in Germany.<\/p>\n\n
