Google Energy lead Sana Ouji said: “Building a 24/7 carbon-free energy portfolio requires us to blend various resources to optimise for hourly production, and that’s exactly what this project helps us accomplish.

“We’re excited to continue our partnership with Ørsted and add this wind project to our existing solar portfolio in ERCOT as we serve customers out of our Dallas cloud region.”

Located in Bee County, Texas, the wind project was commissioned in mid-2022 and has been supplying green electricity to the South ERCOT service territory.

Clean energy supplied by the facility is sufficient to power around 90,000 homes in the region.

This is the first agreement signed by the two companies in the US, and the second agreement globally.
