On April 20, 2022, Amazon announced that it has secured 37 new renewable energy projects totaling 3.5 GW of capacity, expanding the company’s renewable energy portfolio by nearly 30%.[1] The projects put the company on a path to reach 100% renewable energy by 2025, five years ahead of the original target of 2030. The projects are located across the U.S., Spain, France, Australia, Canada, India, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates. The projects include three wind farms, 26 solar farms, and eight rooftop solar installations. Twenty-three of these projects will be located in the U.S., spread out across 13 states. This includes a 500 MW solar farm in Texas, Amazon’s largest renewable energy project (by capacity) announced to date. The new projects also include a 300 MW solar project paired with 150 MW of battery storage in Arizona and a 150 MW solar project paired with 75 MW of battery storage in California. Amazon now has a total of 310 renewable energy projects, which, once operational, are expected to produce 42,000 gigawatt hours (GWh) of renewable energy annually.
