Amazon-backed initiatives contribute almost 1GW of renewable energy to European power grids.
Amazon has revealed that nearly 1GW of clean, fossil-free energy is now being supplied to power grids throughout Europe, following the initiation of 20 new renewable energy projects this year.
These initiatives, backed by Amazon, cover five countries and involve partnerships with 12 different energy developers, greatly enhancing renewable energy capacity in these areas.
The projects include 12 in Spain, three in Italy, three in Poland, one in Germany, and one in Greece.
Together, they can power more than 700,000 European households annually.
Currently, Amazon supports over 230 renewable energy projects in Europe, primarily through power purchase agreements (PPAs).
PPAs provide financial certainty for developers, allowing them to invest in new projects by securing a long-term buyer for the electricity produced.
These projects contribute additional renewable energy to national grids, aiding in the decarbonisation of energy sources and benefiting households, businesses, and the public sector.
In Germany, Amazon invested in the Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm in 2022, committing to offtake 189MW of capacity.
In Poland, Amazon backed its first renewable energy project in 2024, supporting the Miłkowice solar farm with a commitment to offtake 87MW of capacity.
In 2023, the company also supported the Energías de Barranquilla and Valle del Sol Energías Renovables solar farms in Spain, committing to a combined total of 64MW of capacity.
In addition to the 20 projects connected this year, Amazon has facilitated more than 40 operational renewable energy projects across Europe.
More than 70 additional projects supported by Amazon are expected to be completed and operational by 2030.
The company states that it continues to seek ways to expand and promote the renewable energy sector in Europe, focusing on countries where it operates, such as the Republic of Ireland, Spain, and the UK, as well as in regions with carbon-intensive grids like Poland and Germany.
