Amazon, AES partner on wind farm in Mississippi
In Maryland, Power Energy reported that Amazon recently announced a project that would be the first utility-scale wind farm in Mississippi.
The 184.5-MW Delta wind farm, being built in Tunica County, is Amazon’s sixth renewable energy installation in that state, and will join five solar farms in the company’s Mississippi portfolio. The facility will include 41 wind turbines powered by winds from the Mississippi Delta, according to the report.
The wind farm is owned and will be operated by AES Corp. AES acquired the Delta project from Danish developer Vestas last year.
The report noted that the Delta installation will help power Amazon’s operations in Mississippi, which include fulfillment and sortation centers, delivery stations, and a Whole Foods Market location.
