Amazon’s carbon-free energy investments

23 Feb Amazon’s carbon-free energy investments

(Oilandgaspress) – Since 2020, Amazon has set the industry standard as the world’s largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy, like wind and solar energy, as recognized by BloombergNEF. For 2025, BloombergNEF has again recognized Amazon as one of the world’s leading corporate purchasers of carbon-free energy, in addition to building the largest carbon-free energy portfolio of any corporation globally.
When companies like Amazon invest in new carbon-free energy projects, we’re not just helping to power our own operations; we’re adding brand-new sources of carbon-free energy to the power grid that everyone uses—the same grid that powers homes, hospitals, and schools.
These investments can also help spur the modernization of the energy infrastructure that communities rely on every day, which helps keep electricity costs stable and affordable for families and businesses.

As one of the world’s largest purchasers of carbon-free energy, Amazon’s portfolio spans more than 700 projects across 28 countries. This includes four nuclear power agreements, 11 utility-scale battery storage projects, more than 300 utility-scale solar and wind farms, over 300 onsite solar projects, and six offshore wind farms in Europe.
Beyond just adding new carbon-free energy to the grid, these projects also create thousands of construction jobs and hundreds of permanent positions in local areas, help to improve grid reliability and infrastructure, and power the AI innovation and emerging technologies essential to America’s technological leadership.
These projects are also contributing to building momentum across the corporate sector. As more companies invest in carbon-free energy and grid infrastructure, we’re seeing the collective impact—creating economies of scale to bring the cost of new technologies down, driving innovation, and strengthening the energy ecosystem for everyone.
