It is reported that Amazon has promised that enterprises will achieve 80% renewable energy power target in 2024, 100% by 2030 and zero carbon net emissions by 2040. To achieve this, it is supporting clean energy projects in Europe, the United States and Australia.
Over the years, Amazon has signed orders for renewable power almost all over the world. In addition to purchasing power from Australia's 60 MW solar power generation capacity in NSW, Amazon will also receive clean power from 122mw onshore wind power in vasternorlland, Sweden (expected to start production in 2022) and a 50 MW new solar power plant in Zaragoza, Spain.
