Amazon has signed 9 new PPAs totaling 430 MW, marking its largest renewable energy investment in Australia
Most projects include battery storage, forming its 1st solar-battery hybrid portfolio outside the US
It says these projects will expand Amazon’s Australia renewable capacity to nearly 1 GW and support its net-zero 2040 goal
Amazon Australia has announced its largest renewable energy investment in the country to date, signing 9 new power purchase agreements (PPAs) for a combined 430 MW of clean energy capacity.
All but one of the 9 deals incorporate battery energy storage systems (BESS), marking the company’s 1st solar-battery hybrid projects in the country, and the first outside the US.
The newly announced portfolio includes 1 wind project, 3 utility-scale solar farms paired with battery storage, 4 distributed solar-battery installations, and a standalone battery addition linked to an existing solar farm.
Spread across New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria, these projects, incorporating storage, will increase carbon-free electricity supply and improve grid reliability.
These facilities include OX2’s 135 MW Muswellbrook solar farm with 135 MW BESS, X-ELIO’s 110 MW Forest Glen Solar Project with 90 MW storage, ANZA’s 8.6 MW DC/4.95 MW AC Stanbridge solar farm with 20 MWh storage – all located in NSW.
Among other solar projects in the transaction are the 81 MW DC/60 MW AC Laceby Solar Project with 60 MW/240 MWh of storage, the 64 MW Barnawartha solar farm with 64 MW of storage, and the 8.6 MW DC/4.95 MW AC Mooroopna Solar Project with a 20 MWh battery storage. All of these projects are developed by Anza in Victoria.
European Energy has also signed a PPA for its Mokoan BESS installation.
Once fully operational, Amazon says its total renewable portfolio in Australia is expected to reach nearly 1 GW (990 MW), marking a significant expansion of its local energy footprint.
The investment aligns with the group’s broader climate commitments under The Climate Pledge, which targets net-zero carbon emissions across its operations by 2040.
Amazon was the world’s 2nd-largest corporate procurer of clean energy in 2025, as per BloombergNEF (see Corporate Clean Energy Offtake Falls 10% YoY To 55.9 GW In 2025).
The latest announcement complements its previously disclosed AUD 20 billion investment to expand its data center infrastructure in Australia by 2029, supporting the growth of cloud computing and artificial intelligence capabilities in the country (see Amazon to Invest AUD 20 Billion in Solar-Powered Data Centers).
