With them, Amazon's total portfolio of renewable Chinese American Phone Number List energy projects , from which the company directly acquires electricity for its operations, goes from 12.2 GW to 15.7 GW, which represents an increase of 30%.
In total, Amazon now has PPA agreements comprising 310 renewable energy projects, including 134 wind and solar farms, and 176 building solar projects.
Amazon CEO Andy Jy said the new wave of PPA deals announced would bring the company closer to its goal of powering 100% of its global operations with renewable energy by 2025.
Renewable energy at Amazon continues to grow
Our commitment to protecting the planet and limiting Amazon's impact on the environment has led us to become the largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy in the world in both 2020 and 2021.
Given the growth of our business, and our mission to run 100% of Amazon's operations with renewable energy, we are not slowing down our renewable investments.

Once fully operational, the 310 Amazon-supported renewable energy projects around the world are expected to produce 42,000 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity per year, which it estimates would meet the needs of 11 million of European households per year.
It also estimates that these clean energy projects will help avoid 17.3 million metric tons of carbon emissions each year, which is equivalent to removing more than 3.7 million cars from U.S. roads annually.
Renewable energy on Amazon
Amazon said it was continuing to invest in energy storage technologies in the US to combine them with renewable energy projects, allowing it to store the clean energy produced by its solar farms and deploy it during nighttime hours or during peak periods. demand.
The company's latest energy storage projects include 150MW of battery storage in Arizona and 75MW of battery storage in California, which together double Amazon's total solar and energy storage capacity from 220MW to 445MW.
All moves are designed to support Amazon's 2040 commitment as part of The Climate Pledge initiative, the company said.
Heather Zichal, CEO of the American Clean Energy ociation, shared that Amazon continues to lead the rise of renewable energy projects in the United States.
