This is how much renewable energy Amazon bought in 2022

Amazon set the record for the most RE purchased by a single company.

Amazon’s renewable energy portfolio grew by 8.3 gigawatts (GW) in 2022, bringing its total capacity to over 20GW. 

This growth was driven by 133 new projects the company executed across 11 countries in the past year. In total, Amazon now has 401 renewable energy projects in 22 countries.

“As we continue to launch new renewable energy projects around the world, we’re pleased to be on track to power our operations with 100% renewable energy, five years ahead of our original target. With 133 projects in 11 countries announced in 2022, Amazon had another record year,” Adam Selipsky, CEO of Amazon Web Services, said. 

“These projects highlight the diversity of our renewable energy sources and showcase our ability to bring new technologies to new markets and further reduce the impacts of climate change.”
