Google has agreed to buy power from 59.2 MW of new wind capacity being built by Aspiravi in Belgium. By Belgian standards that is a large corporate contract. It is also made of something very small: nine separate wind farms, each averaging less than 7 MW. Line Google's Belgian contracts up by size and a pattern appears in how a tech buyer fills a crowded, fragmented grid.
Key takeaways
- Aspiravi signed a power purchase agreement with Google, announced on 1 February 2024, covering the 59.2 MW installed capacity of nine new wind farms Aspiravi is building in Belgium.
- The nine Aspiravi wind farms under the Google PPA were due to be operational by the end of 2024 and average about 6.6 MW each.
- Aspiravi signed a second PPA with Google in June 2024 for 19.8 MW from three new wind farms in Flanders due online in 2025, taking Google's contracted capacity from Aspiravi to 79 MW.
- Enerdatics records seven Google PPAs in Belgium between 2023 and 2025, with 221.4 MW of disclosed capacity, and the 59.2 MW Aspiravi contract is the largest of them.
- Google accounts for about 58 percent of the 379.3 MW of disclosed capacity across all 16 Belgian PPAs Enerdatics records from 2023 to 2025.
Why does Google buy Belgian wind in such small pieces?
Because that is the size Belgian onshore wind comes in. A power purchase agreement, or PPA, is a long-term contract to buy electricity from a specific project. In markets with large open sites, a buyer can sign one contract for one big wind farm. The Belgian contracts in Leap look different: they are assembled from many small farms, so a buyer who wants scale has to aggregate.
Aspiravi does that aggregation for Google. Nine wind farms averaging about 6.6 MW each become one 59.2 MW contract with one counterparty. The second deal follows the same shape: three new wind farms in Flanders adding 19.8 MW, again about 6.6 MW per farm. For Google, dealing with one developer across a dozen sites is far simpler than signing a dozen separate contracts.
The contract also delivers new capacity rather than claims on existing turbines. Both Aspiravi deals cover wind farms still being built at the time of signing. That matters to buyers who want their purchases to add renewable generation to the grid, rather than simply redirect output that would have existed anyway.
Aspiravi brings more than development to the table. The company sells local green power to energy-intensive businesses and reports that its onshore and offshore wind turbines avoid 2.4 million tonnes of CO2 a year. It already has the commercial machinery to package many small assets for corporate buyers.
How do Google's Belgian contracts rank by size?
The Aspiravi deal sits at the top. Ranked by disclosed capacity, Leap records Google's Belgian PPAs from 2023 to 2025 as follows:
- Aspiravi, 59.2 MW, announced February 2024.
- Eneco, 54 MW wind portfolio, announced October 2025.
- Luminus, 38.6 MW wind portfolio, 20 years, announced October 2025.
- ENGIE, 26 MW of wind, announced July 2024.
- A 23.8 MW, 12-year wind contract signed in April 2023.
- Aspiravi, 19.8 MW, announced June 2024.
- Renner, a portfolio of wind projects with undisclosed capacity, announced October 2025.
Two things stand out. First, every Google contract in Belgium is for onshore wind. Second, the sizes cluster between 20 MW and 60 MW, even when the seller is a large utility such as ENGIE or Eneco. That ceiling appears to reflect the market rather than the buyer. Google's offshore contracts in the neighbouring Netherlands run to hundreds of megawatts.
Aspiravi is also the only seller to sign with Google twice in the same year. Its two contracts total 79 MW, about 36 percent of all the capacity Google has disclosed in Belgian deals. Returning to the same developer four months later suggests the first deal worked well enough to repeat.
What is missing from the Aspiravi contract?
Almost every commercial term. Leap records no contract length, no price, no annual output and no project names for the Aspiravi deal. The only disclosed numbers are the 59.2 MW of capacity, the nine wind farms and the end-of-2024 operating date.
That opacity is normal in Belgium. Of Google's seven Belgian contracts, only two disclose a term: the 12-year deal from 2023 and the 20-year Luminus deal from 2025. Neither discloses a price. A buyer of Google's size has little reason to publish the terms it has secured.
For anyone benchmarking Belgian PPAs, that leaves capacity and contract count as the usable measures. On those, the Aspiravi deal is the clearest single data point for what a large tech buyer will contract from Belgian onshore wind in one go.
Enerdatics records 16 PPAs in Belgium between the start of 2023 and the end of 2025, with 379.3 MW of disclosed capacity. Fourteen of them are wind contracts. Google is the offtaker on seven of the 16, with 221.4 MW, about 58 percent of the disclosed total. The only Belgian PPA larger than the Aspiravi deal is ENGIE's 70 MW sale of power from the C-Power offshore wind farm, split across five corporate buyers on a five-year term. Measured by a single buyer on onshore wind, the 59.2 MW Aspiravi contract is the largest in the set.
What does the deal signal for Belgian renewable PPAs?
It signals that one buyer is shaping the Belgian corporate market. When a single company accounts for more than half the disclosed PPA capacity in a country, its procurement style becomes the market's style. In Belgium that style is clear: onshore wind, new capacity, aggregated through a developer, in blocks of 20 MW to 60 MW.
The Aspiravi deal was part of a wider push. On the same day, Google announced 478 MW of offshore wind contracts in the Netherlands alongside new deals in Italy, Poland and Belgium. Belgium's share of that day was small in megawatts. It was large relative to the size of the Belgian market.
The cluster of Google contracts in October 2025, with Eneco, Luminus and Renner within two days, shows the approach has continued. For Belgian developers, the lesson is that scale comes from bundling. A portfolio of small wind farms, packaged under one contract, is what a buyer of Google's size will sign. Developers who can aggregate sites, as Aspiravi did twice, are the ones positioned to win the next contract.
