4 FAQs about The role of Amazon s energy storage system

Does Amazon have a battery energy storage system?

Amazon has enabled the development of 10 solar energy projects paired with battery energy storage systems to date–representing nearly 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of battery energy storage capacity.

Why do we need energy storage systems?

As a consequence, the electrical grid sees much higher power variability than in the past, challenging its frequency and voltage regulation. Energy storage systems will be fundamental for ensuring the energy supply and the voltage power quality to customers.

How will Amazon's energy projects work?

The energy from the projects will be delivered directly to the grid, helping power Amazon's operations while benefitting other energy users, including local businesses, public institutions, and Greek households.

Can a battery storage system help decarbonize electricity grids?

Transitioning to solar and wind power is one of the fastest ways to help decarbonize electricity grids, but the amount of renewable energy available can vary when the sun isn't shining. Pairing a solar project with a battery storage system can help solve for this by providing a steady supply of carbon-free energy for more hours of the day.
