Hyderabad, February 5, 2025: Amazon today announced investments in three new wind projects in India, emphasizing the company’s broader commitment to matching the electricity consumed by our operations with renewable energy, and advancing progress toward its Climate Pledge goals.

Across India, Amazon has now enabled a total of 53 solar and wind projects to date, which together will provide more than 4 million megawatt hours (MWh) of new carbon-free energy in the country, providing sufficient energy capacity to power the equivalent of more than 1.3 million Indian homes. The projects include 9 utility-scale solar and wind farms across the country, as well as onsite solar arrays on 44 local buildings that host Amazon operations.

Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon’ble Union Minister of Railways, Electronics & Information Technology, and Information and Broadcasting, stated, “Under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi ji, India is rapidly emerging as a global leader in the clean energy transition. Investments from companies like Amazon are accelerating this progress. Clean energy is not only about sustainability; it is central to our goal of producing 50% of our electricity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030. As we expand our digital and transportation infrastructure, renewable energy will play a crucial role in powering the next wave of connectivity and innovation.”

Shri Shripad Yesso Naik, Hon’ble Minister of State of Power and New and Renewable Energy, said, “I welcome Amazon’s continued commitment to India’s renewable energy transition. Investments in wind and solar projects are crucial for achieving our renewable energy targets and ensuring energy security. These projects will not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also generate employment and foster economic growth in local communities. The Government of India remains committed in its efforts to support such initiatives, and I encourage other global corporations to invest in our green energy future.”

“Amazon is committed to driving the carbon-free energy transition forward in both India and around the world, which will help us all address climate change at scale,” said Avinash Shekhar, Head, APJC Energy and Water Strategy, AWS. “As the top corporate purchaser of solar and wind since 2020, we’ve invested in more than 600 solar and wind projects globally, including more than 50 in India, which is part of our Climate Pledge commitment to attempt to reach net zero carbon emissions across our operations by 2040.”

The latest projects that Amazon has signed include three new wind energy projects, which are CleanMax Koppal, BluPine Solapur, and JSW Energy Dharapuram. CleanMax Koppal is a 100 Mega Watt (MW) wind farm located in Karnataka. BluPine is also a 99 MW wind project located in Maharashtra. The JSW Energy Dharapuram is a 180 MW wind project is located in Tamil Nadu, South India.

These projects will contribute to India’s renewable energy goals and help create numerous construction jobs in their respective regions, according to the developers.
