Introduction
Amazon is accelerating India’s clean energy transition with three new wind projects across Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu, adding 379 megawatts (MW) of clean power to the grid. This investment strengthens Amazon’s commitment to 100% renewable energy operations and supports India’s goal of generating 50% of its electricity from non-fossil sources by 2030
The Three New Wind Farms:
- CleanMax Koppal (100 MW), Karnataka – In partnership with CleanMax, a leading renewable energy provider.
- BluPine Solapur (99 MW), Maharashtra – A collaboration with BluPine Energy, a renewable energy platform.
- JSW Energy Dharapuram (180 MW), Tamil Nadu – Partnering with JSW Energy, a major player in India’s power sector.
This expansion brings Amazon’s renewable energy portfolio in India to 53 solar and wind projects, generating over 4 million megawatt-hours (MWh) of carbon-free energy annually—enough to power 1.3 million Indian homes.
As one of the world’s largest corporate buyers of renewable energy, Amazon has invested in over 600 clean energy projects globally. Under its Climate Pledge, the company is working towards net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
Amazon’s continued investments in India’s renewable energy sector underscore a growing corporate shift toward sustainability, reinforcing the country’s position as a global clean energy leader.
