Amazon Web services (AWS cloud) concluded a contract with EDP Renewables for build and operate a 100- megawatt (MW) wind farm in the county of Paulding, Ohio, called the Amazon US Wind Farm Central. It is the fourth largest renewable energy project AWS "in 2015 and is expected to generate over 320,000 MWh of energy per year (enough to power more than 29,000 US homes for one year).
In November 2014, AWS shared his long-term commitment to achieve 100 percent renewable energy consumption for the overall footprint of the AWS cloud infrastructure. In April 2015, AWS announced that nearly 25 percent of power consumed by its global infrastructure of cloud came from renewable energy sources in order to increase this percentage to at least 40 percent by the end of 2016.
"our renewable energy projects previously announced AWS put on track to exceed our target of renewable energy by 40 percent globally by the end of 2016, "said Jerry Hunter, vice president of Infrastructure Amazon Web services (AWS) ." This latest project, US Central Amazon Wind Farm, grows our percentage renewable energy still higher. " The 320,000 MWh of energy generated is delivered into the power grid that supplies both current and future data centers AWS Cloud.
As part of its push for renewable energy, AWS continues to work on ways to increase the energy efficiency of its facilities and equipment. In January 2015, Amazon announced a renewable project with Amazon Wind Farm (Fowler Ridge) in the County of Benton , Indiana, is expected to generate 500,000 MWh of wind power each year. In April 2015, Amazon announced a pilot project of the Tesla energy storage batteries that are designed to help bridge the gap between intermittent production, from sources such as wind, and the demand for constant power data center.
EDP Renewables is a global provider of renewable energy and one of the largest wind power producers in the world. The company operates in 12 markets worldwide -. In Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Spain, USA, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal, United Kingdom, Romania and Mexico
