E-commerce giant Amazon has decided to expand its renewable energy portfolio by adding 2.7GW of capacity across 71 new renewable energy projects around the world. The announcement is part of the company's efforts to bring green power to the entire business by 2025.

Amazon has announced investments in its first three solar projects in India with a combined installed capacity of 420 megawatts. Located in Rajasthan, the projects will increase the company's renewable energy portfolio in the Asia-Pacific region to 57.

In Europe, Amazon announced its first rooftop solar projects in France and Austria, as well as its first solar farm in Poland. The e-commerce company currently has 117 renewable energy projects across the continent.

Amazon also plans to add 1GW of clean energy capacity in the southeastern United States. In South America, the company announced it would build a 122-megawatt solar farm as its first clean energy project in Brazil. Once complete, Amazon's global renewable energy portfolio will have the capacity to generate 50,000GWh of clean energy, equivalent to the electricity consumed by 4.6 million U.S. citizens in a year.

"We are bringing new wind and solar projects online to power our offices, fulfillment centers, data centers and stores, which together serve millions of customers around the world," said Adam Selipsky, CEO of Amazon Web Services. Providing services, we are moving towards the goal of 100%. Renewable energy for our entire business by 2025. Keywords: engineering news, overseas news
