Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has reached a deal for its largest renewable energy project yetone that will allow it to purchase 380 MW of wind energy.
Hollandse Kust Noorda wind farm in the Netherlands currently being developed by The Crosswindwill supply the power through a project known as the Amazon-Shell HKN Offshore Wind Project.
The CrossWind is a consortium made up of oil giant Royal Dutch Shell and Mitsubishi subsidiary Eneco.
The project is still under development and is not expected to be complete until 2023. It will have a total capacity of 759 MW, generating at least 3.3 TWh per year.

THIS is a innovative example of how we begin to build sustainable energy sources throughout the world, while developing & applying research that bypasses the limits of any one individual clean resource.
Interesting and encouraging to see clean climate being taken to the next level.
