Amazon Australia announced its biggest renewable energy investment in the country yet— nine new power purchase agreements that will add 430 megawatts (MW) of clean energy to the grid and bring the company's total renewable capacity to nearly 1 gigawatt (990MW) nationwide once fully operational.
The newly signed portfolio includes: one wind farm, three utility-scale solar and battery hybrids, four distributed solar-battery projects, and a new battery installation at the previously announced Mokoan Solar Farm. Together, these projects strengthen grid reliability while expanding carbon-free energy supply across New South Wales and Victoria.
This marks Amazon's largest renewable energy investment in Australia in a single year, supporting the company's goal of reaching net-zero carbon across its operations by 2040 as part of The Climate Pledge. According to BloombergNEF's latest data, Amazon was the largest corporate purchaser of carbon-free energy in Australia for 2025, and one of the leading purchasers worldwide.
What makes this announcement significant is the focus on battery storage. Eight of the nine deals incorporate battery energy storage systems —Amazon's first solar-battery hybrid projects in Australia, and the first outside the United States.
Supporting regional communities
Several projects demonstrate how renewable energy can coexist with existing land uses. The Muswellbrook solar farm sits on rehabilitated brownfield land, including former coal mining areas, contributing to environmental restoration. Others incorporate agricultural co-use, with livestock grazing between panels.
Amazon’s renewable energy projects in Australia
When companies like Amazon invest in new renewable energy projects, we’re not just helping to power our own operations; we're adding brand-new sources of carbon-free energy to the power grid that everyone uses—the same grid that powers homes, hospitals, and schools. Since 2020, Amazon has invested an estimated AU$2.8 billion in renewable energy projects across Australia. Once operational, these 20 renewable energy projects will provide almost 1GW (990MW) of new renewable energy capacity, enough to power the equivalent of more than half a million Australian households annually.
The nine new projects are located across New South Wales and Victoria.
