- Amazon’s renewable energy portfolio now totals more than 20GW.
- Amazon’s purchases continue to add new wind and solar projects to the grids.
Amazon continued its renewable energy procuring spree in 2022, sealing the company again as the global leader in clean energy procurement.
The company’s renewable energy portfolio grew by 8.3 GW in 2022 through 133 new projects in 11 countries. The portfolio now totals more than 20GW, enough to generate the energy to power 5.3 million U.S. homes.
The company’s renewable energy purchases continue to add new wind and solar projects on the grids that power Amazon’s operations, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centres, Amazon fulfilment centres, and physical stores worldwide.
With these continued investments, Amazon said it set a new corporate record for the most renewable energy announced by a single company in one year. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, the company remains the largest corporate buyer of renewable energy, a position it’s held since 2020.
