Shell Energy Europe (Shell) has been selected by Google as its renewable energy supply manager in the UK, under the US-based technology company’s Carbon-Free Energy supply model to reach its goal of running entirely on clean energy by 2030. Shell will use its advanced trading capabilities to manage a renewable power portfolio for Google that addresses the intermittency of renewable generation through access to battery energy storage systems. Efficient battery management contributes to the stability of the UK power system and supports the country's move towards greater use of low-carbon energy. 'This gives us the scale and flexibility to help Google meet its decarbonisation goals.' Since October 2023, Shell Energy and Google have announced three power purchase agreements to supply Google with renewable energy from NoordzeeWind, HKN V and HKW VI wind projects which are located offshore from the Netherlands.
