About the company Google

Het internet groeit snel, en dat geldt ook voor de vraag naar onze services, van Zoeken tot Gmail en YouTube. In 2016 openden we in de Nederlandse Eemshaven een nieuw datacenter om deze groei te kunnen bijhouden. In 2018 kondigden we een uitbreiding van deze campus aan. In juni 2019 maakten we een verdere groei van de Eemshaven bekend, plus plannen voor een nieuwe locatie bij Middenmeer, ongeveer 108 km ten zuiden van de Eemshaven. Hiermee komen onze totale investeringen in Nederlandse datacenters uit op 3,8 miljard euro.

Ons datacenter in de Eemshaven biedt werkgelegenheid aan meer dan 470 mensen. Dit zijn fulltime medewerkers en externe leveranciers, waaronder IT-specialisten, technici, bewakers, cateringpersoneel en faciliteitbeheerders.

Google heeft in Nederland overeenkomsten gesloten met windparken bij Delfzijl en in Zeeland (Krammer en Bouwdokken) en met zonne-energiepark Sunport Delfzijl voor de inkoop van hernieuwbare energie voor onze datacenters.
