This is amazing, especially considering their cloud services. Powering an entire datacenter on renewable can NOT be easy. Does Amazon have a similar initiative

This is amazing, especially considering their cloud services. Powering an entire datacenter on renewable can NOT be easy.
Does Amazon have a similar initiative? Given their market share in the cloud and their widespread AZ's I imagine it'd be tricky.
edit: jk, apparently their energy needs are half that of Google and they're making headway. (https://electrek.co/2017/10/19/amazon-wind-farm/ https://electrek.co/2017/10/19/amazon-wind-farm/)
- dastbe 9y agoI think your math on that last bit is off. The article states they have 1.2GW, which is somewhere between 40% and 50% of Amazon's power usage (started 2016 at 40%, expect to exit at 50%). That would peg 100% at somewhere between 2.4 and 3.
