- Amazon has added nearly 1 GW of clean energy to European grids through 20 new wind and solar projects across five countries.
- The projects can power more than 700,000 households annually and advance grid decarbonisation.
Amazon announced on Monday, November 3, that it has added nearly 1 gigawatt (GW) of fossil-free energy to European power grids this year, as 20 new renewable energy projects it supported have come online across five countries.
The new operational projects include 12 in Spain, three in Italy, three in Poland, one in Germany, and one in Greece. Built by 12 energy developers, the projects together can power more than 700,000 European households annually, Amazon said.
Amazon now supports over 230 renewable energy projects across Europe, primarily through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). These agreements give developers financial certainty to secure long-term funding, while adding new renewable electricity to national grids and reducing carbon intensity across the continent.
Among the key projects connected this year include the Baltic Eagle, one of Germany’s largest offshore wind farms, where Amazon has offtaken 189 MW since investing in 2022. Miłkowice, Amazon’s first renewable energy project in Poland, with 87 MW of solar capacity supported in 2024 and Energías de Barranquilla and Valle del Sol Energías Renovables in Spain, where Amazon offtakes 64 MW of solar capacity.
Beyond the 20 new projects, more than 40 Amazon-enabled renewable projects are already operating in Europe, including 18 in Spain, eight in Finland, five in Sweden, four in Ireland, two in the UK, two in Italy, two in the Netherlands, and one in France.
The company stated that over 70 additional projects in its European portfolio are expected to become operational by 2030, further strengthening the region’s renewable energy capacity.
Amazon added that it continues to expand its clean energy investments in key markets, such as Ireland, Spain, and the UK, while targeting high-emission grids in Poland and Germany to accelerate Europe’s transition to sustainable power.
