Dutch Windmills Will Power Google Eemshaven Datacenter.

The Dutch windmills and dikes are well known to the world. They have provided power to mill grains, pump water for reclaiming land from the sea and lately to attract tourists. The Kinderdijk mill site is a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you can see and admire those large wood structures with vanes known as sails, are dreamy reminders of technical past of the Dutch.
The knowledge transferred well in to the current windmills, Wind Turbines, the huge towers with even larger blades converting wind in to electricity will power a very 21st century Google data center, in Eemshaven, the Netherlands. The
Google signed a long-term agreement with Dutch power company Eneco, to power the data center entirely by renewable energy from its first day of operation, in 2016. The agreement is to buy the entire production of Eneco windfarm -- currently under construction at Delfzijl, near Eemshaven -- for the next ten years.
