It consists of a 2 GW offshore wind farm and a 50 MWp floating offshore solar farm located 62 km off the Dutch coast.  The project is expected to be operational in 2029. A significant part of the electricity generated by the offshore wind and solar farm will be converted into green hydrogen at a large-scale electrolyser plant at the port of Rotterdam.  

“This is an important milestone for the Zeevonk partnership and the future of the energy transition in Europe,” said Keld Bennetsen, Senior Vice President and Europe Market Lead at COP. “We need dynamic solutions to achieve our climate and renewable goals. The Zeevonk project is doing just this, first with the dynamic structure of the project itself and now with this power purchase agreement with Google.”   

Søren Toftgaard, partner at CIP, said: “We are pleased to announce this long-term renewable energy purchase agreement and look forward to support Google’s decarbonisation goals. The agreement represents an important milestone for CIP – and it highlights the strength of Zeevonk and underlines the new market opportunities for clean energy created by the growth of data centers. We are excited to move Zeevonk forward together with our partners at Vattenfall and develop a project that drives local growth and jobs, provides clean energy and delivers attractive risk-adjusted returns to our investors.”  

“Google partnered with CIP ahead of the government tender for this subsidy-free, GW-scale project. We are proud of the outcome and close collaboration with CIP. The Zeevonk project is designed with system integration at heart and combines offshore wind, floating solar and green hydrogen. The partnership with CIP, will bring new carbon-free energy to the Dutch grid and power our operations in the country that provide digital tools, artificial intelligence and related services around the world. Together with the existing power purchase agreements we have previously signed in The Netherlands, this agreement is a major milestone towards our ambition to operate on 24/7 Carbon Free Energy (CFE), everywhere we operate, by 2030. This agreement is also an example of how collaboration can enable 24/7 CFE for multiple types of electricity use, including Google’s operations but also for electrolyzers to produce hourly matched renewable hydrogen. We are excited to contribute to the Dutch energy transition where hydrogen will play an essential role”, said Adam Elman, Director of Sustainability EMEA, Google.”
