Amazon India will set up 300 megawatt (Mw) wind-solar hybrid power projects in Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. The projects would be set up along with Vibrant Energy, a subsidiary of portfolio company of the Macquarie's Green Investment Group (GIG).
In a statement on Thursday, Amazon said, this is considered to be one of the “largest wind-solar hybrid corporate power purchase agreements (PPA) by a technology company in India.”
Once operational these projects are expected to generate 1,163,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of clean energy, which is the equivalent amount of electricity needed to power 380,000 average-sized households in New Delhi each year, it said.
