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

Most of the electricity from He Dreiht has already been secured through long-term PPAs, EnBW said on 5 February, adding it is continuing discussions with additional potential offtakers for the remaining volumes.

He Dreiht is under construction about 85 km 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 the project produced first power in November 2025.

In January 2026, EnBW said half of the 64 Vestas 15 MW wind turbines had been installed at the site. The developer expects to install and commission all 64 turbines by the summer of 2026.

Before the agreement with Google, EnBW signed PPAs for He Dreiht with DHL Group for 20 MW of generation capacity; Evonik for 150 MW, separately for 100 MW and 50 MW; Frankfurt Airport operator 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.
