Amazon commits to 430 MW of solar and BESS power purchase agreements

Amazon Australia has signed nine power purchase agreements (PPAs) that include three utility-scale solar and battery hybrids, four distributed solar-battery projects, and the new battery at Mokoan Solar Farm located close to Melbourne, committing stable revenues to 430 MW of renewable energy. Put another way, eight of the nine deals involve battery storage.

Danish renewables developer European Energy had previously signed a PPA with Amazon for the 58 MW Mokoan solar farm in June 2025, when the tech giant had also pledged $20 billion (USD 14.3 billion) to 2029 to expand Australian cloud computing,

Three of the nine new projects are located across the state of New South Wales (NSW) and include the Sweden-headquartered developer OX2’s 135 MW Muswellbrook solar farm and 135 MW / 270 MWh battery storage.

Also in NSW, PPAs are signed with the Spain-based developer X-ELIO’s 90 MW Forest Glen solar farm and 25 MW / 25 MWh  battery energy storage system (BESS), and Sydney-based Anza Power’s 4.95 MW Stanbridge solar farm with 20 MWh battery storage.

Along with three wind farms in the state of Victoria, two Anza-owned 4.95 MW solar farms and 20 MWh BESS have new Amazon Australia PPAs at Barnawartha North and Mooroopna, as does the 40 MW / 80 MWh BESS being added to the Mokoan project.

Once operational, the 20 renewable energy projects will provide almost 1 GW (990 MW) of new renewable energy capacity, which is enough to power the equivalent of more than 500,000 Australian households annually.

The company said it has invested an estimated $2.8 billion in renewable energy projects across Australia since 2020, making it the largest corporate purchaser of carbon-free energy in Australia for 2025, according to BloombergNEF data.
