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.

Using AWS in full increases efficiency and analytics detail
giffgaff will migrate all of its technology infrastructure and application development to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud, which it claims will make it the first MVNO in Europe to do so.
By the end of the year, giffgaff will remove all of its databases and applications from its existing on-premises data centre to AWS, a move that the company says will make it more efficient and quick to develop new applications for its users and respond quicker to issues.
giffgaff is using more than 60 of AWS 175+ services to give it a better understanding of which services its members are using, what new services they want, and how it can best implement these services.
