A planned wind farm in eastern North Carolina's Chowan County has signed a deal with Google for its entire output. Apex Clean Energy plans to build the Timbermill Wind project on about 6,300 acres in Chowan County, near Edenton. Google has signed a power purchase agreement for the project's full 189 megawatts, the companies said Tuesday. Google said the electricity will support its data centers that operate on the PJM grid, which stretches from northeastern North Carolina to the Midwest.
