EDF Renewable Energy has signed an agreement to supply Google with 200 megawatts of wind energy generated from the new Glaciers Edge Wind Project in Iowa. The wind farm will raise EDF RE’s Iowa wind project development portfolio to 1.1 gigawatts.
The wind facility will be located in Cherokee County, in the northwestern part of the state and is expected to create more than 150 jobs during the construction phase. Upon completion, anticipated for December 2019, the additional capacity will enable Google to reach its goal of purchasing enough renewable energy to match its energy consumption for global operations.
