en.Wedoany.com Reported - Amazon has reached a total of 50 carbon-free energy projects in the UK, making it the largest corporate buyer of carbon-free energy in the country for the fifth consecutive year. Once fully operational, these projects will generate over 1 gigawatt of carbon-free electricity annually, enough to meet the electricity needs of more than 1.2 million UK households.

The latest signed project is the Chirmorie Wind Farm in South Ayrshire, Scotland, developed by egg Power with an installed capacity of 90 megawatts. Amazon will purchase all the carbon-free electricity generated by the wind farm through a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). This deal brings Amazon's clean energy portfolio in the UK to 50 projects, including 9 off-site wind and solar farms, and 41 rooftop solar installations on its own facilities such as logistics centers.

According to the independent research report "Driving the Low-Carbon Economy: How Amazon Investments Boost Growth and Competitiveness in Europe" released by Frontier Economics on June 23, Amazon's total low-carbon investments in the UK between 2021 and 2025 amounted to £3.5 billion ($4.6 billion), supporting approximately 34,000 jobs and contributing about £2 billion ($2.6 billion) in added value to the national economy. Amazon stated that such long-term PPAs provide developers with the financial certainty needed for construction, helping to modernize UK energy infrastructure, support a more stable and self-sufficient power grid, and help maintain affordable electricity prices for households and businesses. These projects not only power Amazon's own operations but also add entirely new carbon-free power sources to the national grid.
