Amazon launches its largest wind farm to date

Amazon has announced that its biggest wind farm to date is operational.

In a statement on Thursday, the business said that Amazon Wind Farm Texas would add over 1 million megawatt hours (MWh) of clean energy to the grid annually.

The facility, which is located in Scurry County, has over 100 turbines, each standing more than 300-feet tall and with a rotor diameter over double the wingspan of a Boeing 787.

Amazon said the wind farm was built, owned and operated by Lincoln Clean Energy, which develops wind and solar projects in the U.S. Amazon has entered into a long-term agreement to purchase 90 %  of the facility’s output.

“Investing in renewable energy is a win-win-win-win – it’s right for our customers, our communities, our business, and our planet,” Kara Hurst, Amazon’s worldwide director of sustainability, said in a statement Thursday.
