The project in Greece follows Amazon’s first utility-scale solar farm in Poland last year.
Overall, the retail giant has added more than 1GW of clean energy capacity to grids across Europe, it said.
Amazon has now enabled more than 160 wind and solar projects across 13 countries in Europe.
Once all projects are operational, they are expected to provide 5.8GW of clean energy capacity, enough energy to power more than 4.9 million British households annually.
Amazon’s investments in these countries help to accelerate the decarbonization of those energy grids as they transition away from fossil fuels, the company said.
Lindsay McQuade, director of energy, EMEA at Amazon, said: “With more than 160 wind and solar projects in Europe, Amazon is helping to provide new sources of clean energy to local grids, creating jobs, and supporting local businesses as we progress toward powering our operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025.
“Corporate investment is an important catalyst to help transition toward a clean energy future, and we look forward to continuing to work with governments, local communities, and energy providers across Europe to deliver more renewable energy into local grids.”
