Malaysian clean energy company Gentari has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for an 80MW wind energy project in Tamil Nadu, India.
Gentari said in a statement on Tuesday that the project is targeted to commence operations in mid-2027. The project is expected to generate approximately 300,000 MWh of renewable energy annually.
By supplying renewable energy, Gentari is moving forward with its mission to make clean energy a reality, while also helping AWS work towards its goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
This power purchase agreement (PPA) follows a partnership formed with AWS in 2023 and represents real progress toward their shared goal of developing large-scale, affordable renewable energy projects.
“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, Chief Executive Officer of Gentari.
“Together with AWS, we are focused on delivering impact through action and enabling the broader energy ecosystem to transition,
“Gentari is excited to support AWS in their net zero journey, and we welcome more partners to join us in building a more robust clean energy ecosystem,” he added.
Jeff Johnson, Managing Director, ASEAN, AWS, said that as the world’s largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy globally, AWS continues to work towards our goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
“Our collaboration with Gentari, a Malaysian clean energy leader expanding its regional impact, brings us a step closer towards that,
“We’re proud to work with forward-thinking organizations like Gentari who share our commitment to both technological advancement and environmental stewardship,” he added.
According to the statement, the collaboration between Gentari and AWS reflects a broader continuous commitment to unlocking scalable clean energy solutions across the region.
As Gentari continues to grow its presence in renewable energy, hydrogen, and green mobility, the company remains focused on building lasting partnerships that drive tangible impact and accelerate the journey to net zero, said the statement.
