Amazon.com Inc. signed long-term accords to buy electricity from four wind farms in Sweden to help meet power demand as the company expands capacity at its data centers in the Nordic nation. 

The deals add almost 200 megawatts of electricity, and once fully operational Amazon will have nearly 1 gigawatt of supply in Sweden, it said in emailed comments. The four farms are developed by Eolus AB and OX2 AB, which is owned by private equity firm EQT AB. 

Amazon and other hyperscalers are ramping up electricity purchases and investing in their own capacity as demand for cloud and AI services grows. The e-commerce giant alone plans to add another 2 million Nvidia graphics processing units to its data-center fleet in 2027 and 2028, on top of 1 million it previously said would begin being installed this year.

The 1 gigawatt of wind energy capacity is enough to power the equivalent of more than 350,000 households annually, the company said, without providing further details on the latest deals. 

In 2025, Amazon was the largest corporate buyer of fossil-free energy in Sweden. Globally, Amazon has invested in more than 700 such projects, with a portfolio exceeding 40 gigawatts. In Europe, the US company says it has invested in more than 260 projects, providing over 10 gigawatts of new carbon-free energy capacity.

The wind farms Boarp, Dållebo and Fågelås are already operational while the largest, Fageråsen, is currently under construction. Amazon’s existing Swedish operations include data centers in Eskilstuna, Katrineholm and Västerås. 

As demand continues to grow, “capacity will be added across all three locations,” Amazon said.
