Google signs PPA with Exus Renewables for wind project in Spain

Independent power producer Exus Renewables signed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Google to supply clean energy from the Cascante wind project in Navarra, Spain.

The 10-year PPA will see Exus provide Google's Spanish operations with 35MW renewable electricity from the 51MW Cascante wind farm.

The PPA will help advance Google’s 24/7 carbon-free energy goals and support the goal to reach net-zero emissions across all of Google’s operations and value chain.

“As we advance our goal to operate on clean energy every hour of every day by 2030, we are always looking for opportunities to accelerate the delivery of new affordable, reliable, clean power to the grid,” said Will Conkling, Director Energy Commercial Structuring at Google. “Using our scalable procurement approach, we’ve been able to collaborate efficiently with Exus Renewables and support our 24/7 carbon-free energy progress in Spain.”

Laurent Jouvin, director of Operations and Energy Management at Exus Renewables, said: “Through this partnership, we will be able to fast-track Spain’s renewable energy transition and enable Google to power its operations with clean, sustainable energy while mitigating energy price volatility.”

This agreement was facilitated through LEAP (LevelTen Energy’s Accelerated Process), which was co-developed by Google and LevelTen Energy to make sourcing and executing clean energy PPAs more efficient.

The Cascante wind farm project is expected to generate over 136GWh of clean electricity annually –enough to power more than 41,000 households – while preventing the emission of nearly 17,000 metric tonnes of CO2 each year.
