Amazon has signed a power purchase agreement with Statkraft for a windfarm in Shetland, Scotland, adding to existing UK wind PPAs.

Amazon has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with renewable energy developer Statkraft to offtake power from the Mossy Hill wind farm near Lerwick in Shetland, Scotland. The facility is expected to become operational in 2030, with Amazon securing approximately 36MW of capacity.

This agreement adds to Amazon's growing renewable energy portfolio in the UK. The company now operates more than 50 carbon-free energy agreements across the region, representing over 1GW of capacity. Of these projects, 41 are solar installations on Amazon logistics estates, while the remainder comprise off-site wind and solar facilities.

"Our latest project in the Shetland Islands builds on years of investment in renewable energy across the UK," said John Boumphrey, Amazon UK and Ireland country manager. "From the Shetland Islands to the coasts of England, our renewable energy investments are creating real jobs and powering local communities. Last year we announced our plan to invest £40 billion ($53bn) in the UK by 2027, and the transition to a lower-carbon economy is a part of how we're putting that commitment to work."

Kevin O'Donovan, Statkraft's UK and Ireland country manager, added: "We're pleased to have agreed a partnership with Amazon for our Mossy Hill Wind Farm in Shetland, which gives us the certainty to move the project forward. Shetland has a proud history of energy production, and as the country shifts towards more homegrown renewable power, we're proud to be playing our part in that transition."

This agreement follows Amazon's June signing of a 90MW PPA with Egg Power for the Chirmorie Wind Farm in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Amazon has also secured renewable energy deals with ERG in Northern Ireland, Iberdrola in East Anglia, and Ocean Winds in Scotland.

Statkraft is a European renewable energy provider operating across hydropower, solar, and wind power generation.
