Amazon and Iberdrola have expanded their long-term global clean power partnership by signing a major renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for 159 MW of the East Anglia 3 offshore wind farm in the UK, equivalent to 700 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity per year. East Anglia 3 is the second largest offshore wind farm in the world.

Amazon has also signed PPAs with Iberdrola to enable projects in Germany, the U.S., and elsewhere in the UK. Through these PPAs, Amazon has contracted renewable energy totaling 54,000 GWh from Iberdrola. The new agreement was announced at the Haizea Wind Group facility in Bilbao, where the manufacture of 50 monopiles is underway. These monopiles will be shipped to the UK to support the wind turbines of the East Anglia 3 wind farm.

Expanding on their digital partnership, the companies today launched the global “Journey to the Cloud" program, further migrating Iberdrola’s operations to the cloud and leveraging AWS’s high-performance computing services and big data services.

The power from East Anglia 3 will support Amazon’s commitment to match all the electricity powering its operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025, five years ahead of the company’s original 2030 target. With over 500 solar and wind projects globally, Amazon has also been the world’s largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy since 2020. The East Anglia project, which consists of three phases, once completes will be one of the biggest wind farm in the world.

Other PPAs Signed by Amazon

In the US, Amazon has signed purchase power agreements to procure power from the Osagrove Flats wind farm, which generates 150 MW (550 GWh per year), and the repowered Leaning Juniper IIA, which produces 90 MW (240 GWh per year).

Two of Iberdrola’s offshore wind farms in Germany, namely Baltic Eagle and Windanker, will provide Amazon with 319 MW of clean energy annually, equivalent to 1.3 terawatt-hours each year. This energy output can power more than 314,000 European homes annually.

Objectives of the PPA

Clean Energy Generation: The agreement will enable the generation of 700 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity per year.

Renewable Energy Commitment: The capacity from East Anglia 3 will support Amazon's commitment to match all the electricity powering its operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025.

Digital Partnership Expansion: The companies have launched the global “Journey to Cloud” program, further migrating Iberdrola’s operations to the cloud and leveraging AWS’s high-performance computing services and big data services.

Efficiency Maximization: Projects already delivered include the use of the cloud to halve the time it takes to run complex weather simulations, and Amazon Sagemaker Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning services to maximize the efficiency of renewable energy assets worldwide.
