US technology giant Apple will power its new Danish data centre with output from two of MHI Vestas鈥 V164-8.4MW turbines installed at an onshore site near Esbjerg on the west coast of Denmark鈥檚 Jutland peninsula.
The two turbines will be installed at European Energy鈥檚听16.8MW M氓de II test site and will deliver 62GWh per year to Apple鈥檚 data centre in nearby Viborg, as well as supplying output to the Danish grid.
The M氓de II project is being built next to the existing 16MW M氓de (European Energy) 听test site that features two V164-8.0MW turbines.
Despite MHI Vestas' V164-8.4MW turbines being installed at offshore wind farms including听25MW WindFloat Atlantic , European Energy CEO Knud Erik Andersen explained that the two offshore wind turbines are being installed at an onshore test site so they can be evaluated.
Apple claimed its Viborg data centre (pictured) will be entirely powered by renewable energy It previously signed a power deal for output from a 50MW solar PV array.
The company aims to make its entire supply chain carbon neutral by 2030. It plans to achieve this through cutting carbon emissions directly, with the last 25% to come from 鈥渃arbon removal solutions鈥 such as forest planting and mangrove swamp restoration.
Earlier this year, rival Microsoft unveiled plans to become carbon-negative by removing more greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere than it emits by 2030, and then erasing all historical emissions by 2050 through carbon capture and sequestration technology.
