Green energy production is highly location dependent. Global production is irrelevant - this is about the Netherlands. The Netherlands is a densely populated country that does not have a lot of space for renewable energy, neither does it have large mountains or water reservoirs that can easily be used for hydro power.

This data centre alone was going to use 10% of all wind power capacity in the NL [1].

It is not only about this data centre either, this was merely the largest and most egregious. There have been a number of new data centre construction plans in the Netherlands by other tech giants, all planning to use government subsidised wind parks. All so that these companies can pretend to be green and put up nice websites like the one you linked, while the actual wind parks and green energy generation is paid for by the taxpayers.

> Has somebody confused or misrepresented measures of capacity and consumption ?

This was supposed to a colossal data center, the largest data centre in Europe [2]. They bought 166 hectares of ground (23M square feet) for its construction. It consuming as much as three of their other data centres would not be terribly surprising.
