Wind plant operator Luxcara has signed a power purchase agreement with Amazon for what it says is a significant share of the power to be produced by a 374MW wind farm in Sweden.
The deal for the output from the Kallamossen plant in northern Sweden in is one of the continent’s largest onshore wind PPAs.
From 2023 onwards, the project will deliver clean electricity to power Amazon’s European operations while keeping the company on its path to power 100% of its global operations with renewable energy by 2025.
Luxcara managing partner Alexandra von Bernstorff said: “We are delighted to add Amazon to our growing list of renewable power customers.
“The trust from such a strong offtaker demonstrates the value we can achieve for institutional investors with our Nordic renewables portfolio even during such challenging times.
“We look forward to structure and deliver more exciting projects with innovative offtake structures in 2021 and beyond.”
Recently Amazon unveiled other deals with nine new utility-scale wind and solar energy projects in the US, Canada, Spain and the UK totalling 1546MW.
The projects include a 350MW offshore wind farm off the coast of Scotland, which is Amazon’s largest in the UK and also the largest corporate renewable energy deal announced by any company in the UK to date.
