Amazon is expanding its renewable energy footprint across the southeastern United States with five new solar and wind projects, bringing its local total to 30 renewable energy projects in the region. After completion, the projects are anticipated to produce over 7,500 GWh of clean energy, which is the equivalent amount of electricity required to power more than 713,000 U.S. homes each year. Currently, the company has around 400 renewable energy projects worldwide.
Amazon's latest projects include Mississippi’s first utility-scale wind farm, and multiple solar farms in Arkansas and Georgia. Additionally, a few local communities are benefitting from the operational projects such as Turkey Creek Solar Ranch in Kentucky, Bulldog Solar Farm and Sonny Solar Farm in Georgia, and a rooftop solar project at the Amazon Air Hub at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
“Amazon is on a path to powering our operations with 100 percent renewable energy by 2025, and we want to ensure the local communities where our customers live and work are also benefiting from the solar and wind projects that we support. These energy projects are helping provide clean energy to local grids, create jobs, support local businesses and farmers, and boost the rural tax base in the southeast, which are all part of Amazon’s commitment to become a more sustainable company,” said Charley Daitch, Director, Energy and Water Strategy at Amazon Web Services (AWS).
