In Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka, Amazon India will build 300 megawatt (MW) wind-solar hybrid power facilities. The projects would be established in conjunction with Vibrant Energy, a subsidiary of a Macquarie Green Investment Group portfolio firm (GIG).
This is one of the “biggest wind-solar hybrid corporate power purchase agreements (PPA) by a technology business in India,” according to a statement released by Amazon.
These initiatives are anticipated to produce 1,163,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of clean energy once they are up and running, which is equal to the annual electricity required to power 380,000 average-sized homes in New Delhi.
Along with three solar farms in Rajasthan, Amazon now has five utility-scale renewable energy projects in India, with a cumulative capacity of close to 720MW.
