Amazon furthered its commitment to renewable energy by signing contracts for 476 megawatts of wind and solar power on the Iberian Peninsula with Iberdrola. This initiative aims to support new data centers, part of a larger $17 billion investment in Spain. The Tâmega wind farm, linked with a pumped-storage hydroelectric system, will provide consistent energy to the grid. Renewables are increasingly favored as tech companies, including Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google, pivot to sustainable energy sources, benefiting from cost-effective installations.
The 274-megawatts of wind turbines being installed at Tâmega will feed power to the grid... Such hybrid installations ensure power can be fed to the grid consistently.
Tech companies have been buying power from renewable projects at a fairly consistent pace, driven in part by how quickly and inexpensively wind, solar, and batteries can be installed.
