Amazon Expands Iberdrola Partnership For Renewable Energy

Amazon and Iberdrola, a leading global clean energy provider, have strengthened their renewable energy partnership with new power purchase agreements (PPAs) totaling 476 megawatts (MW). This latest expansion marks Amazon’s entry into the Portuguese renewable energy market and reinforces its commitment to achieving 100% renewable energy as part of its broader climate pledge to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. The partnership, now active in five countries, underscores a shared vision for accelerating the global energy transition.

The new agreements include a significant milestone for Amazon in Portugal: 219 MW from the Tâmega Wind Complex, the country’s largest wind farm, which is set to begin construction in 2025. In Spain, Amazon has secured 257 MW from two solar and wind projects that will collectively generate 1,093 GWh of carbon-free electricity annually. This is enough to power 300,000 homes, further supporting Amazon’s mission to match its energy consumption with 100% renewable sources.

Aitor Moso Raigoso, Iberdrola’s Executive Vice President of Customer Business, highlighted the strategic importance of the collaboration. “With Amazon, we have a partnership that truly matches our commitment to sustainable energy and accelerating the global energy transition,” he said, emphasizing the alignment of both companies’ environmental goals.

Amazon, recognized as the world’s largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy according to BloombergNEF, has now secured more than 66,000 GWh of renewable energy from Iberdrola globally. These projects contribute significantly to Amazon’s environmental targets and demonstrate the company’s leadership in sustainable business practices. Lindsay McQuade, Amazon’s Director of Energy for EMEA, expressed enthusiasm about the strengthened relationship with Iberdrola. “We are excited to further support Iberdrola in its growth plans, leveraging AWS’s scalability and AI to accelerate innovation and delivery,” she stated.

In addition to renewable energy investments, Iberdrola is deepening its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to harness advanced technology solutions. The adoption of cloud-based AI and high-performance computing (HPC) is transforming how Iberdrola designs and manages its energy projects. Key initiatives include optimizing wind farm design using AI to determine ideal turbine placements, enhancing weather forecasting across 400 wind farms globally, and deploying a Virtual Desktop as a Service to streamline operations.

The partnership’s technological innovations are expected to deliver significant efficiency gains while supporting Iberdrola’s growth in renewable energy. These advancements exemplify the role of digital transformation in driving sustainability and improving the operational efficiency of clean energy projects.

Amazon will purchase energy from three Iberdrola projects as part of the new agreements. The Tâmega Wind Complex in Portugal, a €350 million investment, will generate enough power for 128,000 homes. In Spain, the Ciudad Rodrigo solar PV plant will supply 150,000 homes and represents a €200 million investment. Additionally, the Valdemoro wind farm, featuring eleven turbines, will power 48,000 homes.

The continued success of the Amazon-Iberdrola partnership comes as Iberdrola maintains its position as Europe’s top seller of power purchase agreements for the second consecutive year, according to the Pexapark Renewables Market Outlook 2025. This recognition underscores the company’s leadership in advancing corporate clean energy investments and fostering a sustainable energy landscape across Europe and beyond.

With the latest agreements, Amazon and Iberdrola are making tangible progress toward their sustainability goals while demonstrating the transformative power of collaborative partnerships. By leveraging technological advancements and expanding clean energy infrastructure, the two companies are setting a precedent for the role of innovation in addressing global climate challenges.
