Amazon has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Skyborn Renewables for the Gennaker offshore wind farm located in the German Baltic Sea. Under the agreement, Amazon will offtake up to 600MW of renewable energy capacity from the project.
The Gennaker wind farm is slated to be the largest offshore wind development in the German Baltic Sea, with a total planned capacity of up to 976.5MW. This deal represents a continuation of Amazon's broader strategy to source large-scale renewable energy to support its operations and data center infrastructure in Europe.
Why it matters
Large-scale renewable energy agreements help Amazon progress toward its clean energy and sustainability commitments, which are increasingly scrutinized by investors tracking ESG performance and the energy costs associated with its growing data center footprint. Securing long-term power supply also provides cost predictability for energy-intensive operations.
