TIL Desk/Business/San Francisco/ Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has said that his company has become the largest-ever corporate purchaser of renewable energy after it added 26 new wind and solar energy projects totaling 3.4 gigawatts (GW) of electricity production capacity.
The addition of 26 new wind and solar projects in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, South Africa, Sweden, the UK, and the US brings Amazon’s total number of renewable energy projects to 127, the company said on Thursday. The company’s total renewable energy investments to date will supply 6.5 GW of electricity production capacity — enough to power 1.7 million US homes for one year.
That surpasses 5.5 GW of renewable energy projects under contract that Google claimed to have till last year. “With a total of 127 solar and wind projects, Amazon is now the biggest corporate buyer of renewable energy ever,” Bezos said in a statement.
