Clean energy provider Gentari inked a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for an 80 MW wind power project in Tamil Nadu, India. The agreement follows their 2023 collaboration and marks a significant step toward their shared goal of scaling cost-effective, utility-scale renewable energy.
Expected to begin operations in mid-2027, the project will generate approximately 300,000 MWh of clean energy annually. The PPA supports AWS’s ambition to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 and advances Gentari’s mission to deliver real-world clean energy solutions.
A document exchange ceremony commemorated the agreement, with Gentari’s Chief Renewables Officer Low Kian Min and AWS’s ASEAN Managing Director Jeff Johnson representing their respective companies. Also present at the event we’re Tengku Muhammad Taufik, Chairman of Gentari and President & Group CEO of PETRONAS, alongside other senior leaders from Gentari, AWS, and PETRONAS.
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. 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,” said Sushil Purohit, CEO of Gentari.
“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 organisations like Gentari who share our commitment to both technological advancement and environmental stewardship,” said Jeff Johnson, Managing Director, ASEAN, AWS.
