Amazon announced that it has signed nine new power purchase agreements (PPAs) in Australia, marking its largest renewable energy investment in the country in a single year, and bringing its total renewables capacity in Australia to nearly 1 GW.
The new agreements will provide the tech giant with 430 MW of energy from projects located across New South Wales and Victoria. According to the company, the new PPAs will support the expansion of its cloud computing and data center AI operations.
The company added that eight of the new agreements include co-located battery energy storage systems, marking the company’s first solar-battery hybrid projects in Australia, and the first outside the U.S.
The new portfolio includes one wind farm, three utility-scale solar-battery hybrid projects, four distributed solar-battery projects, and a new battery energy storage system to be added to the existing Mokoan solar PV power plant. Project developers include OX2, X-ELIO, Anza, TagEnergy, and European Energy.
Amazon ranked as the largest corporate purchaser of carbon-free energy in Australia in 2025, and one of the leading purchasers worldwide according to a recent report by BloombergNEF.
Since 2020, Amazon has invested an estimated A$2.8 billion (USD$2 billion) in renewable energy projects across Australia. The company said that its new renewable energy investments will complement its planned A$20 billion investment to expand data center infrastructure in Australia by 2029.
Amazon Web Services Head of Infrastructure and Energy Policy ANZ Matt O’Rourke said:
“As we expand our cloud and AI infrastructure, we’re powering it not only with carbon-free energy, but also battery storage that strengthens grid reliability and proves data centres can run confidently on an increasingly renewables-based system. These long-term, storage-backed PPAs enable new projects to proceed and help to stabilise electricity costs.”
