“ We did this in partnership with the local government and environmental organisations , who saw an opportunity to combine green energy and recreate some major values before it was all agricultural .

Marc Oman , EU Energy Lead at Google recently commented in a press release : “ We are proud that our data centre in Eemshaven has been powered by renewable energy since day one thanks to our agreements with Dutch suppliers . After the agreement with Eneco for the delivery of wind energy from WindPark Delfzijl and the agreements with the wind parks Krammer and Bouwdokken , we are pleased that we can now also make use of solar energy .
