Amazon Signs 90MW Onshore Wind PPA in Scotland, Marking UK’s Largest Corporate Wind Deal
Amazon has signed a landmark 90-megawatt (MW) onshore wind power purchase agreement (PPA) in Scotland, in what is being hailed as the largest single corporate onshore wind deal in the United Kingdom to date. The agreement underscores the tech giant’s accelerating push to match its global electricity consumption with 100% renewable energy by 2025, while also supporting the UK’s broader clean energy transition.
The PPA was signed with Egg Power, a Scottish renewable energy developer, and covers the output from a new onshore wind farm located in the Scottish Highlands. The project will generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of tens of thousands of homes annually, with Amazon expected to purchase the full output under a long-term contract. While specific financial terms were not disclosed, industry analysts note that deals of this scale signal growing confidence in corporate PPAs as a mechanism to stabilize energy costs and reduce carbon footprints.
This deal is part of Amazon’s broader portfolio of over 400 renewable energy projects globally, including wind and solar farms, which together represent more than 20 gigawatts (GW) of capacity. In the UK alone, Amazon has now committed to more than 1 GW of renewable energy capacity, making it one of the country’s largest corporate buyers of clean power. The Scottish wind farm is expected to begin commercial operations within the next two to three years.
The significance of this agreement extends beyond Amazon’s own operations. By securing a 90MW onshore wind PPA—the largest of its kind in the UK—Amazon is effectively de-risking investment in new wind capacity, providing developers with the revenue certainty needed to finance construction. This model is increasingly seen as critical for the UK to meet its net-zero emissions target by 2050, especially as government subsidies for renewables phase out.
Industry experts point out that corporate PPAs are becoming an essential tool for accelerating renewable deployment in mature markets like the UK, where grid-scale projects often face financing hurdles. Amazon’s deal with Egg Power not only bolsters Scotland’s position as a hub for onshore wind but also sets a benchmark for other large energy consumers—from data center operators to manufacturers—looking to secure clean energy supply at predictable prices.
