Google has entered into a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with EnBW for electricity produced by 100 MW of capacity at the 960 MW He Dreiht offshore wind farm in Germany.

The He Dreiht offshore wind farm is currently under construction about 85 kilometres northwest of the German island of Borkum and is set to enter full operation this year. Wind turbine installation started in April last year, and He Dreiht produced first power in November 2025 . In January 2026, EnBW said half of the 64 Vestas 15 MW wind turbines were installed at the He Dreiht site. The developer expects to install and commission all 64 wind turbines by the summer of 2026.

The majority of the electricity generated by He Dreiht has already been secured through long-term PPAs, EnBW said on 5 February and added that it was continuing discussions with additional potential offtakers for the remaining volumes.

Prior to the PPA with Google, EnBW signed PPAs for the 960 MW offshore wind farm with DHL Group for 20 MW of generation capacity; Evonik for 150 MW, separately for 100 MW and 50 MW ; the operator of Frankfurt Airport, Fraport AG, for 85 MW ; Bosch for 50 MW ; Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH for 50 MW ; Deutsche Bahn for 20 MW ; and Deutsche Telekom’s Power and Air Condition Solution Management (PASM) for 100 MW .

“This agreement with Google sends a strong signal for the transformation of the energy market. We are proud to support one of the world’s leading technology companies on its journey toward greater sustainability. By delivering a customized PPA solution, EnBW is making a direct contribution to the decarbonization of industry and the digital economy” , said Peter Heydecker , Member of the EnBW Board of Management for Sustainable Generation Infrastructure.
