Amazon has made a significant leap in its sustainability efforts by meeting its 100% renewable energy goal seven years ahead of schedule. Initially set for 2030, this milestone means all electricity consumed by Amazon’s operations, including its data centers, now comes from renewable sources.
For the past four years, Bloomberg NEF has recognized Amazon as the largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy globally. The company has invested billions in over 500 solar and wind projects worldwide, generating enough energy to power around 7.6 million US homes. This achievement aligns with Amazon’s broader commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
Achieving this goal is an important milestone in their efforts to meet the Climate Pledge commitment of net-zero carbon by 2040, but the path is changing in ways that no one quite anticipated even just a few years ago—driven largely by the increasing demand for generative AI. This will require different sources of energy than we originally projected, so they will need to be nimble and continue evolving the approach as they work towards net-zero carbon.
