Google buys 12 years of wind power from yet-to-be built wind farm - CNET

Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story [cnet.com]:

A new 50-turbine wind farm in Norway has yet to be constructed, but Google has already bought up its entire 12-year supply of energy.

The farm, due to be completed in 2017, will be used to power Google's European data centres, Reuters reports [reuters.com]. The search giant has also bought the entire power output of a second wind farm in Sweden, which is due to be built in 2018. The two power plants will supply 236 megawatts in total.

"[The additional wind farms] take us one step closer to running 100 percent of our operations on clean energy," said Marc Oman, EU energy lead of Google global infrastructure on the company's European blog [blogspot.co.uk].
