Amazon Launches 253MW Wind Farm in Texas

From atop a wind turbine Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos launched the company’s largest wind farm yet, the 253 MW Amazon Wind Farm Texas project, which will provide more than 1 million MWh of clean energy annually.

Commerce and cloud computing company Amazon announced a year ago the development of the 253 MW (megawatt) Amazon Wind Farm Texas project, which is made up of 100 wind turbines and is one of 18 wind and solar projects currently launched across the United States, while there are another 35 more to come. Amazon boasts that all their operating and planned wind and solar projects will generate the equivalent electricity enough to power 330,000 homes each year.

Amazon now has 18 wind and solar projects across the U.S. with more than 35 projects to come. These are important steps toward reaching our long-term goal to power our global infrastructure using 100% renewable energy.
