Amazon adds 100 new renewable projects to reach net-zero operations by 2025

Amazon officials announced recently that they invested in over 100 new renewable energy projects in 2023, made of wind and solar power, bringing the company's total clean power capacity to over 77.000 GWh per year, which could power around 7.2 million households.

ESG Today reports that, according to Amazon, this effort pushes the company to its ultimate goal of achieving 100% renewable power supply for its operations by 2025, well-ahead of its initial 2030 target.

Company officials also claim that in 2023, over 90% of Amazon's operations were powered by clean power. Last year, Amazon invested in renewable projects situated in nine European countries, including Germany, Belgium, France and Italy. The American company now owns more than 500 wind and solar projects around the world.

Over 2023, an additional 13 clean power projects have been added over the Asia Pacific region in countries such as China and South Korea.
