\"Lincoln<\/a>

Jumbo Road Wind Farm<\/p><\/div>\n

Dallas<\/strong>\u2014Amazon<\/a>\u00a0has announced plans to build Amazon Wind Farm Texas, a 253-megawatt wind farm in Scurry County, Texas, that will generate 1,000,000 megawatt hours of wind energy annually. The facility will produce enough energy to power almost 90,000 U.S. homes.<\/p>\n

Amazon Wind Farm Texas will comprise more than 100 turbines, each with a rotor diameter twice as long as the wingspan of a Boeing 747. The project is scheduled to open in late 2017, marking the company\u2019s largest renewable energy project to date.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to work with the community in\u00a0Scurry County\u00a0and\u00a0Lincoln\u00a0Clean Energy\u00a0to generate 1,000,000 MWh of renewable energy<\/a> each year from West Texas,\u201d said\u00a0Kara Hurst, director of sustainability with Amazon. \u201cAmazon Wind Farm Texas is our largest renewable energy project to date and the\u00a0newest milestone\u00a0in our long-term sustainability efforts across the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lincoln Clean Energy<\/a>, a portfolio company of I Squared Capital<\/a>, will construct, own and operate the new wind farm and Amazon will purchase roughly 90 percent of the power it generates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe applaud Amazon\u2019s leadership in directly purchasing renewable power,\u201d said\u00a0Declan Flanagan, founder & CEO of Lincoln Clean Energy. \u201cDirect purchasing by large, long-term thinking customers like\u00a0Amazon\u00a0has quickly become a key driver of the transition to renewable power across the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amazon\u00a0has previously announced smaller wind and solar farms in\u00a0Indiana,\u00a0North Carolina,\u00a0Ohio\u00a0and\u00a0Virginia, but Texas leads the nation in wind power. The five projects together will generate more than 2.6 million MWh of renewable energy each year, enough to power more than 240,000 U.S. homes.<\/p>\n
