Energy company Renantis announced that Amazon Web Services has signed a PPA to be the corporate off-taker for the power from two of Renantis’ onshore wind farms upon their completion.

 

The two wind farms, known as Mustalamminmäki and Koiramäki, are located in Karstula, Central Finland. The farms will have a combined capacity of 59MW and are expected to produce a combined 174GWh of electricity annually – equivalent to the energy needs of around 20,000 households – and will likely reach commercial operation at the end of 2023.

 

Sustainability goals

These are the first wind farms developed by Renantis in Finland and will contribute to decarbonizing the supply of energy for Amazon’s corporate offices, fulfillment centers, and Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) data centers that support millions of AWS customers.

 

“We are proud of Renantis’ contribution to Amazon’s sustainability goals by powering their business with our renewable energy. This is a great example of businesses and power producers collaborating to meet both business and sustainability objectives. We strongly believe in the importance of long-term contracts both for the energy producer and the energy buyer, taking steps towards a cleaner planet”, commented Toni Volpe, CEO of Renantis.

 

'On track to power operations with 100% renewable energy'

Lindsay McQuade, Director of Energy at Amazon commented “The Mustalamminmäki and Koiramäki wind farms will soon be contributing to Amazon’s commitments to address the impacts of climate change and our commitment to reach net-zero carbon by 2040. Power Purchase Agreements are an effective means of enabling investment to decarbonise electricity grids. We’re on track to power our operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025, five years ahead of our original 2030 target.”
