Amazon reaches almost 3 GW of renewable capacity in Spain, enabling 12 new projects

Amazon is enabling 12 new renewable energy projects in Spain with a total capacity of 596 MW. With these energy agreements, we increase our renewable energy capacity in the country to over 2.9 GW, bringing the total to 79 wind and solar projects in Spain, including 49 large field projects (nine wind, 40 solar) and 30 solar installations in Spain. the roofs of our buildings.

The new projects will consist of four wind farms and eight photovoltaic farms located throughout the country. With these projects, we deepen our commitment to Spain and renewable energy.

“The solar and wind projects we have enabled help power our business while bringing new sources of clean energy to the grid and supporting economic growth in the communities where our employees and customers live and work,” he said Mariangela Marseglia, vice president and general manager of Amazon in Spain, Italy and Portugal. “We are on track to cover all our global electricity consumption with 100% renewable energy by 2025, after exceeding 90% in 2022.”

Over 500 photovoltaic and wind projects around the world

In 2023, we enabled the implementation of over 100 new projects related to solar and wind energy, becoming the world’s largest corporate buyer of renewable energy for the fourth consecutive year. Amazon currently has more than 500 wind and solar projects worldwide, and once operational, they are expected to generate more than 77,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean energy annually.

These projects bring us closer to matching all our global electricity consumption to 100% renewable energy by 2025. They already support our operations, including fulfillment centers, Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers, corporate offices and physical stores that serve millions of customers around the world.

Our renewable energy deals are part of the Climate Pledge, our commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2040 – ten years ahead of the Paris Agreement.
