Amazon leads as top corporate buyer of renewable energy

Green Forum
Amazon has added 100 new renewable energy projects, bringing its total capacity to over 33 gigawatts, solidifying its position as the largest corporate buyer of renewable energy.   

The portfolio includes large-scale wind and solar farms, as well as on-site solar projects, enough to power 8.3 million homes.

“Amazon isn't just the top corporate purchaser of solar and wind, we're also prioritizing projects in the locations where they can have the biggest impact on curbing emissions and improving the local environment,” said Amazon Chief Sustainability Officer Kara Hurst. “When it comes to addressing climate change, speed and location matter. From collaborating on new energy policies, to accelerating renewables in underserved regions, Amazon is working to help decarbonize grids around the world as quickly as possible.”

In Poland, Amazon has invested in three utility-scale wind farms, which are supporting the Polish government's goal to increase renewable energy use. In Greece, we've signed eight agreements for renewable energy projects, including three new utility-scale wind farms. Together, the projects are expected to provide enough energy to power the equivalent of more than 300,000 Greek homes.
