Renewable sources recorded another victory while Amazon signed contracts for the purchase of 476 winds of wind and solar at the Iberian Peninsula.
Contracts on the purchase of electricity with the multinational Iberdrol service program should help Amazon insert new data centers he planned in the region. Last May the company said it would invest $ 17 billion In infrastructure projects, including data centers, Spain.
Amazon’s power supply account has been growing lately because it adds data centers to resolve the growing demand for AI and cloudy services.
One of the projects that Amazon buys – the wind farm of the tâmega – is built together with a huge system of dams of the dam in Portugal. The complex consists of a total of three dams, one of which is 880 megawatts of the pump dam.
The pump storage facilities have two reservoirs, one higher at an altitude, one lower. When the power is needed, the water is released from the upper tank to the spin turbine. When there is excess power, massive pumps transfer water from the lower tank to the upper. The stored storage is, in fact, a huge battery.
274 wind turbines installed on tâmega introduce power supply through the existing hydropower plant connection, and when there is excess, it can be used to pump water into the upper tank. Such hybrid installations ensure that power can be consistently fed on the network from otherwise occasional renewable resources such as wind and solar energy.
Amazon also buys part of power than typical winds and solar plants in northwestern Spain. Last year, the company was the largest customer of renewable energies.
Tech Company buy the power from renewable project sources for a fairly consistent pace, partly guided by the way the wind, solar and batteries can be installed quickly and cheaply. Last month the target said he signed two large Solar energy offersand Microsoft and Google Previously, they have announced that everyone has supported more billions of dollars of renewable investments.
