The Google Middenmeer Data Center, situated at Tussenweg 8, 1775 RK Middenmeer, Netherlands, is a substantial facility spanning 330,000 square feet. While the gross colocation space is not publicly disclosed, the data center is notable for its robust security and operational standards, evidenced by its comprehensive suite of certifications including PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 90001, SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3. Power information for this specific location is not available. The facility also benefits from its strategic location, with 71 other data center locations identified within a 50-mile radius.
Google’s significant investment in the Netherlands’ digital infrastructure continues with the opening of a new €500 million data center in Middenmeer in December 2020. This facility, combined with the existing data center in Eemshaven, Groningen, brings Google’s total data center investment in the Netherlands to a substantial €2.5 billion. The Middenmeer data center is a key contributor to the local economy, providing over 130 full-time and external supplier positions, including IT specialists, engineers, security personnel, catering staff, and facility managers. Reflecting Google’s commitment to environmental sustainability, the company has matched its annual electricity consumption with 100 percent renewable energy since 2017. Furthermore, Google aims to operate all its data centers and campuses on carbon-free energy 24/7 by 2030. To achieve this in the Netherlands, Google has secured agreements for renewable energy purchases from wind farms in Delfzijl and Zeeland (Krammer and Bouwdokken), as well as the Delfzijl Sunport solar energy park, all supporting the Middenmeer data center’s operations.
