Specifically, in January 2015, Amazon declared a renewable project with the Amazon Wind Farm (Fowler Ridge) in Benton County, Indiana, which is predictable to generate 500,000 MWh of wind power annually. In April 2015, Amazon declared a pilot of Tesla’s energy storage batteries that are designed to assist bridge the gap between intermittent production, from sources like wind, and the datacenter’s constant power demand. Also in April 2015, AWS joined the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) and the U.S. Partnership for Renewable Energy Finance (US PREF) to work with state and federal policymakers and other stakeholders to enable more renewable energy opportunities for cloud providers.

Now with Amazon Wind Farm US Central declared recently, Amazon’s renewable projects will be responsible for delivering more than 1.6 million MWh of additional renewable energy into electric grids across the central and eastern US, or roughly the equivalent amount of energy required to power 150,000 US homes.
