AWS Inks 80 MW Wind Power Deal to Boost Green Energy in India

• AWS signed an 80 MW wind energy deal with Gentari in Tamil Nadu to generate 300,000 MWh annually and support its 2040 net-zero goal
• The project is part of the Karur Wind Zone, enhancing Tamil Nadu’s position as a key renewable energy hub
• AWS is investing $12.7 billion in India, including $8.3 billion in Mumbai to expand its cloud infrastructure

Amazon Web Services (AWS) signed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Gentari, a Malaysia-based company, to procure 80 MW of wind energy from Tamil Nadu, India.

The agreement is part of AWS’s overall strategy to arrive at net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 and would annually produce approximately 300,000 MWh of clean electricity when operational in mid-2027.

The renewable energy generated from the project will support a rapidly expanding AWS cloud infrastructure in India, including AWS’s existing cloud infrastructure in Mumbai and Hyderabad.

Tamil Nadu, and specifically the Karur region, is a developing renewable energy cluster. The region has multiple wind energy projects planned and under development, including Everrenew Energy (100.8 MW), Tata Power (198 MW), and Adani’s 2.5 GW Karur Transmission project, which will considerably boost the region's capacity to transmit green energy.

The new AWS-Gentari wind project falls under the Karur Wind Development Zone, and reflects Tamil Nadu’s role in India’s clean energy transformation.

Gentari, the clean energy division of Malaysia's Petronas, is going to grow quickly in the region. The agreement comes after a collaboration announced in 2023 between Gentari and AWS to jointly explore sustainability and decarbonization opportunities.

Jeff Johnson, AWS Managing Director for ASEAN said, "This partnership moves us closer to our 2040 net-zero goal".

This adds to AWS's growing renewable energy presence in India. In February 2025, AWS signed on with CleanMax and BluePine Energy for additional contracts worth 199 MW, culminating in the development of wind farms along the coast of Karnataka and other states.

Earlier this year, AWS pledged to invest $8.3 billion to grow its cloud infrastructure in the AWS Asia-Pacific (Mumbai) Region in a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) during the 2025 World Economic Forum conference.

The MoU is part of a more comprehensive investment plan, totaling $12.7 billion, which AWS first announced for 2023. AWS's first deployment of its Indian cloud region was in Mumbai in 2016 and then in Hyderabad in 2022.
