Amazon has announced that nearly 1 gigawatt (GW) of clean, fossil-free energy is now flowing into European electricity grids. This milestone comes from 20 new wind and solar projects that the company helped bring into operation this year. These projects span five countries — 12 in Spain, three in Italy, three in Poland, one in Germany, and one in Greece — and were developed by 12 renewable energy companies.
Together, these projects can generate enough electricity to power more than 700,000 European households each year. By supporting these developments, Amazon is helping to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, contributing to the decarbonization of Europe’s energy systems.
Across the continent, Amazon now supports more than 230 renewable energy projects, most of them through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). These long-term contracts give developers financial stability, allowing them to secure funding and build projects knowing they have a guaranteed buyer for the electricity produced. Once operational, these projects add new renewable power to national grids, benefiting homes, businesses, and the public sector.

How Amazon Supports Renewable Growth
Through PPAs, Amazon provides a stable source of income for renewable energy developers. This helps to lower investment risks and makes it easier for them to build large-scale projects. When these projects begin operating, the electricity they produce is supplied to national grids, helping to increase the share of renewable energy available to everyone.
As a result, Amazon has become one of the largest corporate buyers of renewable energy in Europe. Its partnerships help countries reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and strengthen the overall stability of the power supply.
So far, more than 40 Amazon-supported renewable energy projects are already operational in Europe. These include 18 in Spain, eight in Finland, five in Sweden, four in Ireland, two in the United Kingdom, two in Italy, two in the Netherlands, and one in France. Each of these projects contributes to a cleaner and more sustainable European energy mix.
In addition to the newly connected projects, Amazon’s European portfolio still includes over 70 renewable projects that are under construction or in development. These projects are expected to become operational between now and 2030, further increasing Europe’s clean energy capacity.
Key Projects Powering European Grids
Several major projects stand out among Amazon’s new clean energy developments.
In Germany, Amazon is supporting Baltic Eagle, one of the largest offshore wind farms in the country. Amazon invested in the project in 2022 with a commitment to offtake 189 megawatts (MW) of its capacity. The project captures strong offshore winds in the Baltic Sea, generating large amounts of renewable electricity.

In Poland, Amazon supported its first renewable energy project, the Miłkowice Solar Farm, which began operating in 2024. Amazon has committed to offtake 87 MW from this project, marking an important milestone in Poland’s move toward cleaner power generation.
In Spain, Amazon backed two significant solar farms — Energías de Barranquilla and Valle del Sol Energías Renovables. Both projects became operational in 2023, with Amazon agreeing to offtake a combined 64 MW of solar energy. Spain has become a key location for Amazon’s renewable energy efforts, with the company supporting more than a dozen projects there.
Through these initiatives, Amazon is contributing new sources of renewable electricity to the European power grid, reducing emissions, and helping to strengthen local renewable industries. The company focuses especially on countries where it operates, such as Ireland, Spain, and the UK, and in regions with more carbon-intensive energy systems, like Poland and Germany.
By enabling nearly 1 GW of new clean energy across Europe in a single year, Amazon is playing a leading role in advancing the continent’s renewable energy capacity. Each project, from offshore wind farms to large-scale solar fields, supports the transition to a more sustainable, low-carbon energy future for millions of people.
