Amazon has announced that almost 1GW of renewable energy projects it has backed in Europe have reached operational status. The projects were developed by 12 energy companies and span Spain, Italy, Poland, Germany, and Greece.

Following the announcement, Amazon has said that it now supports more than 230 renewable energy projects across Europe, primarily through long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).

Notable projects to come online this year include the Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm in Germany, where Amazon has committed to offtake 189MW of capacity; the Miłkowice solar farm in Poland, its first renewable project in the country, where it committed to offtake 87MW; and two Spanish solar farms – Energías de Barranquilla and Valle del Sol Energías Renovables – with a combined 64MW of capacity.

The projects join more than 40 Amazon-backed renewable energy facilities in operation across Europe. This includes 18 in Spain, eight in Finland, five in Sweden, four in Ireland, and several others in the UK, Italy, the Netherlands, and France. More than 70 additional projects are expected to be completed and connected to the grid by 2030, the company claimed.

The company said its latest wave of European projects is centered in countries with high carbon intensity, such as Poland and Germany, in addition to markets where it has significant data center operations, including Ireland, Spain, and the UK. The additions are part of Amazon’s broader commitment to power its global operations with 100 percent renewable energy as it works toward its 2040 net-zero target.

The company has already signed several PPAs in Europe this year. These include a 28MW PPA in Poland, three PPAs with Iberdrola totaling 476MW across Spain and Portugal, and a 47.3MW PPA with the ERG Group in Northern Ireland.

In February, the company was named as the top corporate buyer of renewable energy in the European market. According to the company, it invested in 46 new renewable projects in countries such as Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, and Finland in 2024.

Before this, the company also claimed the title of the world’s biggest corporate purchaser of renewable energy, citing data compiled by BloombergNEF.
