Wind Energy – Moray West
Amazon has signed a corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) with ENGIE, increasing its share of output from Ocean Winds’ Moray West offshore wind farm in Scotland to a total of 473MW when the site becomes operational later this year.
This is enough energy to power the equivalent of more than 650,000 UK homes annually.
Ocean Winds is a 50-50 EDP Renewables-ENGIE joint venture dedicated to offshore wind.
Ocean Winds is following an accelerated development and construction plan, with capacity from the site supporting Amazon’s goal of powering all operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025, five years ahead of the company’s original target.
Amazon announced 39 new renewable energy projects across Europe last year, adding more than 1GW of clean energy capacity to grids in the region.
