The nine new "utility-scale" projects include a 350 MW wind farm off the coast of Scotland (
hailed by AWS UK general manager Darren Hardman - see below), which it claims is the UK's largest corporate renewable energy project, as well as a Spanish solar project and Swedish onshore wind project.
Amazon claims it now has 206 renewable energy projects globally - including 71 utility-scale wind and solar projects and 135 solar rooftops on facilities and stores worldwide - which will generate 8.5 GW of electricity production capacity globally.
The projects will supply renewable energy to AWS' datacentres, as well as Amazon's corporate offices, fulfilment centres and Whole Foods Market stores.
