80MW wind project in Tamil Nadu to deliver 300,000 MWh of renewable energy annually from mid-2027
Supports AWS’s target of reaching net-zero carbon by 2040 and Gentari’s mission to scale clean energy solutions
Marks a major step in the companies’ 2023 collaboration to develop utility-scale renewable energy projects
Gentari and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for an 80MW wind power project in Tamil Nadu, India, marking a significant milestone in their clean energy partnership. The facility, expected to begin operations in mid-2027, will generate around 300,000 MWh of renewable energy annually.
The deal follows the companies’ 2023 collaboration agreement and is designed to accelerate both Gentari’s goal of delivering practical, scalable clean energy and AWS’s commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
“This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to advancing practical, scalable, and clean energy solutions – vital for Asia and the world’s move towards a low-carbon future. Through projects like the Karur wind development, we are not just adding renewable capacity – we are addressing real energy needs where it matters most,” said Sushil Purohit, CEO of Gentari. “Together with AWS, we are focused on delivering impact through action and enabling the broader energy ecosystem to transition.”
