Amazon to develop 198 MW wind farm in India

The company’s renewable capacity in India exceeds 1.1 gigawatts.

Amazon will now have 50 wind and solar projects in India as it will develop a new 198-megawatt (MW) wind farm in Osmanabad, Maharashtra.

In a statement, Amazon said its wind and solar projects in the country generated around $349m in economic investments between 2014 and 2022 and contributed around $87m to the country’s economy.

Amazon’s projects also provided over 20,600 local full-time job opportunities in 2022 only.

Abhinav Singh, vice president of Operations at Amazon India, said its renewable projects in the country will boost the company’s goal to power its operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025.

“Rapidly scaling renewable energy is one of the most effective strategies to address climate change, and these efforts can be especially impactful in India, where the country’s leaders are focused on transitioning the country away from fossil fuels,” Singh said.

Amazon said once operational, all 50 projects can generate electricity that could power 1.1 million homes in New Delhi annually, and provide power to the company’s data centres, logistics facilities, physical stores, and corporate offices.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
