Amazon Wind Farm Texas is a 253 Megawatt wind farm in Scurry County, West Texas The farm opened in late 2017, the project includes over 100 turbines which generate and feed into the Texas electric grid 1,000,000 megawatt hours of wind energy annually, enough to power 90,000 typical US homes.
October 19, 2017, Amazon's Jeff Bezos christened the Amazon Wind Farm Texas by smashing a champagne bottle on top of one of the turbines standing more than tall. In a statement, Amazon revealed that it has entered into an agreement to purchase 90 percent of the facility's output. The facility was built by Lincoln Clean Energy which also owns and operates the wind farm. This facility is one example of Amazon's large and increasing long-term investment in renewable energy.
