What's Jeff Bezos doing on top of a wind turbine?

Amazon's largest wind farm yet — Amazon Wind Farm Texas — is now up and running.

The new installation, which was officially christened by Jeff Bezos, who smashed a bottle of champagne on top on one of its massive turbines, will add more than 1,000,000 MWh of clean energy to the grid each year. It includes more than 100 turbines – each over 300 ft. tall with a rotor diameter more than twice the wingspan of a Boeing 787. Amazon Wind Farm Texas is built, owned, and operated by Lincoln Clean Energy (LCE), an I Squared Capital portfolio company and a leading developer of wind and solar projects across the U.S.

Amazon has launched 18 wind and solar projects across the U.S., with over 35 more to come. Together, these projects will generate enough clean energy to power over 330,000 homes annually.

“Investing in renewable energy is a win-win-win-win – it’s right for our customers, our communities, our business, and our planet,” said Kara Hurst, Amazon’s worldwide director of sustainability. “We now have 18 wind and solar projects across the U.S. with more than 35 projects to come. These are important steps toward reaching our long-term goal to power our global infrastructure using 100% renewable energy. We’d like to thank the leaders at LCE, the Scurry County community, and our partners across the country who are helping us continue to bring new renewable energy online.”
