The Financial Post reports in its Friday edition that Amazon is investing in its first Canadian wind farm, partnering with developer Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners on a 495-megawatt capacity wind farm to be built in Vulcan county in Southern Alberta. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post says that the announcement on Thursday marks Amazon's fourth renewable energy project in Canada and follows the recent opening of the company's Travers solar project, which is also located in Southern Alberta and is the largest solar farm ever constructed in Canada. That project, together with the newly announced wind farm, will help power Amazon's local operations in Alberta, including its fulfilment centres, sorting centres, delivery stations and Amazon Web Services data centre. Amazon has also previously invested in a smaller solar farm in Newell county, Alberta, and a rooftop solar energy project at an Amazon delivery station in Nisku, Alta. The company is one of a growing number of large corporations that are seeking to achieve their own environmental commitments by purchasing long-term renewable electricity contracts known as power purchase agreements. These include Royal Bank of Canada, Shopify, Telus and IKEA.
