<p>Amazon and Avangrid have expanded their renewable energy partnership in the United States through a new 98.4 MW wind project in Oregon called Amazon Wind Farm Oregon – Leaning Juniper IIA. This repowering project will significantly extend the life and efficiency of an existing Avangrid wind farm in Gilliam County. The 40 new turbines are expected to generate enough clean energy to power approximately 22,800 homes annually.</p>
<p>This project supports Amazon’s goal of utilizing 100% renewable energy across its operations by 2025. It is also expected to create around 200 local construction jobs and provide over $11 million in property taxes to support community services. Avangrid has additionally committed to recycling all decommissioned turbine blades, diverting over 1,000 tons of material from landfills.</p>
<p>Beyond the environmental benefits, Amazon Wind Farm Oregon – Leaning Juniper IIA will also deliver economic gains for local communities. Avangrid’s Community Sponsorship Program, funded by revenues from the project, will aid schools, libraries, preschools, and fire departments in the area. Overall, this partnership signifies a major renewable energy milestone for both companies.</p>
