EDP, through EDP Renewables APAC, has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Amazon for the former’s 44 MWp (35 MWac) ground-mounted utility-scale solar farm in Fukushima, Japan.
The long-term agreement is linked to the energy company’s solar project in Fukushima, strengthening EDP’s role in supporting major tech firms’ decarbonization goals. The solar farm will consist of 63,000 panels and is projected to generate over 48 GWh of electricity annually, reducing carbon emissions by more than 20,500 metric tonnes. The facility is expected to become operational by Q3 of 2025.
This is the second PPA between EDP and Amazon in the APAC region. The first agreement was signed in 2021 in Singapore, supporting Amazon’s sustainability journey.
