Standout 786 MW Offshore Wind project in Germany
Sherpa analysis
Google’s lead off-taker role shows tech firms are now the primary drivers of offshore wind procurement in Germany. By locking 786 MW from Ørsted’s Borkum Riffgrund 3, the buyers secure long-term renewable supply ahead of tighter EU emissions rules, reinforcing demand for offshore projects and supporting GOOGL’s sustainability commitments.
