Google Inc. will buy electricity to power a data center in the Netherlands from a 62-megawatt wind farm being built in the country by Eneco Holding NV.
The U.S. Internet company signed a 10-year contract to buy the entire output of the farm to power a 600 million-euro ($750 million) data center it’s developing in Eemshaven, it said today in a posting on its Europe blog. The center will begin operating in the first half of 2016, it said.
