Google is blowing into Oklahoma on the strength of the state’s renowned wind resources.

The search engine titan has struck a deal to buy the power from a 100.8-megawatt wind farm being developed in Grady and Caddo counties near Minco.

Electricity from NextEra Energy Resources’ Minco II Wind Energy Center will help power Google’s data center near Pryor, which is expected to be operational later this year.

“We’ve made the commitment to be a carbon neutral company, and this purchase is part of our effort to minimize our impact on the environment,” Google’s Gary Demasi wrote Thursday on the company’s blog. “We’ve managed to reduce our energy consumption by over 50 percent by building highly energy-efficient facilities, but we know that efficiency alone isn’t enough to eliminate our carbon footprint.”

Google’s 20-year power purchase agreement with Juno Beach, Fla.-based NextEra is the second deal between the two companies in less than a year.

Google also is buying 114 megawatts of power from a NextEra wind farm in Iowa in a deal cemented in July.

“These purchases represent long-term, meaningful actions to reduce our carbon footprint and power our operations with clean electricity,” Demasi wrote. “As a company we hope that purchases like these, plus the additional $350 million we’ve invested in renewable energy projects, support the market and drive down the cost of clean energy.

“This will enable even more companies to invest in sustainable energy solutions.”

Kylah McNabb, wind energy specialist for the Oklahoma Commerce Department, said the deal is great for the state.

“Google is really getting into this business model,” she said.

The company works through subsidiary Google Energy to participate in the wholesale energy market.

NextEra officials are excited about the opportunity to continue working with Google Energy.

“We are thrilled to expand our relationship with Google Energy and appreciate their ongoing support of emission-free, renewable energy,” said Mike O’Sullivan, senior vice president of development for NextEra Energy Resources. “With the support of customers like Google Energy, we’ve built our wind fleet from fewer than 500 megawatts a decade ago to nearly 8,300 megawatts — the largest fleet in North America today.”
