On October 26, Amazon announced that the first two renewable energy projects supported by the company in China, the Shandong Solar Power Plant and the Qian'an Wind Power Plant, have officially gone into operation. The two projects are expected to have a total installed capacity of 200 megawatts (MW) and are expected to generate 496,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of clean energy per year, equivalent to the average electricity consumption of 250,000 Chinese households. “By becoming operational, these projects are helping China meet its renewable energy goals,” said Elaine Chang, corporate vice president and managing director of Amazon Web Services for the greater China region. In addition, the two renewable energy projects are expected to contribute to local environmental, economic and educational development through investments in local communities, according to Amazon. Amazon announced five new renewable energy projects in May, 2020. The five include the Shandong Solar Power Plant and the Qian'an Wind Power Plant in China, as well as projects in Australia and the U.S. Kara Hurst, Vice President of Sustainability, Amazon, said at the time the company “believe it is possible to reach 100% renewable energy by 2025, five years ahead of the goals we announced last fall.” Amazon’s Australia project is expected to generate 250,000 MWh of clean energy each year, which is enough to power the equivalent of 40,000 average Australian homes. Its three U.S. projects include a 200 MW solar project and an 80 MW solar project in Ohio, and a 130 MW one in Virginia. The three are expected to have the capacity to power the equivalent of 69,000 average U.S. homes each year. China is on its way to achieve carbon zero and has has committed to obtaining 1,200 gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar power capacity to help power its economy with clean energy. By the end of 2021, the country had reached a world-leading record by installing 1,000 GW of renewable energy capacity.  https://en.pingwest.com/w/10926
