Amazon is tightening its grip on clean energy in Europe. The company has signed a new long-term deal with OX2 AB, a Swedish renewable energy developer, to purchase 28 megawatts (MW) of power from an upcoming onshore wind farm in Poland.
The project, known as the Annopol Wind Park, will have a total capacity of 40MW and is located in Lublin Voivodeship, in the southeast of the country. Construction is already underway, and the first turbines are expected to start generating electricity in 2027. Once operational, the site will provide renewable energy directly to Amazon’s European network, helping to power its expanding logistics and data infrastructure.
A Relationship That Keeps Growing
This isn’t the first time Amazon and OX2 have worked together. Earlier in 2024, the two companies signed a major deal in Finland, where Amazon agreed to buy the full output from two of OX2’s wind farms, adding up to 472MW of capacity.
OX2, headquartered in Stockholm, develops, builds, and operates renewable projects across 12 markets in Europe and Australia. It’s owned by private equity group EQT and is recognized for scaling wind and solar developments efficiently. Partnering with global tech players like Amazon has become central to its strategy.
For Amazon, these agreements make business sense. They lock in energy prices for years ahead, provide stability against market fluctuations, and align perfectly with its goal to run entirely on renewable electricity by 2025.
Poland’s Growing Role in Amazon’s Energy Map
Poland has become a surprisingly strong player in Amazon’s European sustainability plan. The country offers open land, improving grid capacity, and an ambitious national push to grow renewables.
Besides the OX2 partnership, Amazon recently signed a 164MW solar deal with R.Power SA in the Opole and West Pomeranian regions. It also maintains a 53MW wind agreement with Vortex Energy.
Add those up, and Amazon now holds around 333MW of clean energy commitments in Poland alone. That’s a significant footprint, and it reflects how seriously the company views the region as part of its climate strategy.
Corporate Leaders Driving Europe’s Energy Transition
Amazon’s influence on Europe’s clean energy market can hardly be overstated. For several years, it has ranked as the continent’s largest corporate buyer of renewable power. Across the globe, the company has now secured more than 30 gigawatts (GW) of renewable capacity, covering over 400 projects in solar, wind, and hybrid energy.
In Europe, its projects stretch from the wind farms of Sweden and Spain to solar parks in Italy and the Netherlands. Many of these supply electricity to AWS cloud data centers, which demand huge amounts of energy for computing, storage, and AI-driven services.
By using long-term power purchase agreements, Amazon helps bring new renewable projects to life, a financing model now copied by other major tech and industrial companies.
OX2: From Nordic Pioneer to Global Partner
For OX2, the Annopol deal is another confirmation of its reputation as a reliable builder of large-scale renewables. The company has moved from being a Nordic niche developer to an international energy partner.
Beyond Europe, OX2 also runs projects in Australia, where it signed a 25MW solar PPA in New South Wales with Google and AirTrunk in 2023. Each new partnership builds both credibility and operational experience, which are crucial in a market driven by long-term trust.
OX2’s presence in Poland has grown quickly. It’s now involved in several new onshore wind and solar developments that align with the country’s goal of doubling renewable generation by 2030.
Poland’s Renewable Shift Gains Momentum
Poland’s transition away from coal is no longer theoretical. Supported by EU funding, falling technology costs, and strong corporate demand, the country is steadily reshaping its energy mix.
The Annopol wind park fits neatly into that transformation. When complete, it will feed clean power directly into the national grid, supporting both local communities and corporate consumers like Amazon.
The move also sends a clear signal: international investment trusts Poland’s regulatory environment and long-term energy policy more than ever before.
Why This Matters for Power Loop Readers?
For Power Loop readers, this story captures how global tech companies are shaping Europe’s clean energy landscape. Amazon’s investment is not just another green headline. It’s a sign of how the digital economy, with its servers, logistics networks, and AI workloads, increasingly depends on renewable energy infrastructure.
Deals like this show how corporate demand is now a key driver of new wind and solar capacity across Europe. Governments set targets, but companies are providing the capital and urgency to make those targets real.
Poland, once seen as a coal stronghold, is quickly becoming a showcase for corporate sustainability done right. If Amazon can help build 300 megawatts of clean capacity in one country, it shows what the private sector can do when business goals and climate goals align.
