Amazon Secures Nearly 200 MW of Swedish Wind Power for Data‑Centre Expansion

Key takeaways

  • Amazon has locked in about 199 MW of on‑shore wind capacity through four new PPAs in Sweden.
  • The contracts lift the company’s Swedish renewable portfolio close to the 1 GW target it has publicised.
  • Individual wind farms: Boarp (17.5 MW), Dållebo (18 MW), Fågelås (31.5 MW) and Fageråsen (132 MW).
  • Fageråsen’s first phase (189 MW) is slated to start delivering electricity in the first half of 2028.
  • The new wind supply represents roughly one‑fifth of the electricity Amazon expects to secure for its Swedish operations, which includes its AI‑compute cluster.
  • Developers are Swedish firms Eolus AB and OX2 AB; OX2 is owned by private‑equity group EQT AB.
  • AWS has invested more than SEK 39 bn in its Stockholm region since 2017 and runs sites in Eskilstuna, Katrineholm and Västerås.
  • Amazon also announced a 2 million‑GPU expansion for AI workloads across 2027‑2028.

Overview of the Swedish wind PPAs

In late August 2026 Amazon announced four long‑term power‑purchase agreements (PPAs) with on‑shore wind farms located across southern and central Sweden. The agreements add almost 200 MW of renewable capacity to Amazon’s Swedish power basket and push its contracted wind portfolio to nearly 1 GW.

Project‑level capacity details

The four wind farms are Boarp, Dållebo, Fågelås and Fageråsen. Amazon’s contracts cover roughly 199 MW in total. From the first three farms—originally built by Eolus and now owned by Mirova—Amazon will receive 17.5 MW (Boarp), 18 MW (Dållebo) and 31.5 MW (Fågelås), adding up to 67 MW. The largest deal ties the company to 132 MW from the Fageråsen project, which is being developed by OX2.

According to Nordic reporting, the three farms together have a combined installed capacity of 88 MW, meaning Amazon’s contracts capture a sizeable portion of the total output.

Timing and operational outlook

Construction on Fageråsen began in February 2026. The first phase will host 27 turbines for a total installed capacity of 189 MW and is expected to generate about 550 GWh annually. The developer has indicated that this phase should be delivering electricity by the first half of 2028. The three smaller farms are already online, although exact commissioning dates for the new capacity have not been disclosed.

How the wind PPAs fit into AWS’s Swedish footprint

AWS runs its Stockholm cloud region across three Availability Zones, with data‑center campuses in Eskilstuna, Katrineholm and Västerås. Since 2017 the subsidiary has poured more than SEK 39 bn into its Stockholm region, a spend that underpins the rapid scaling of cloud and AI services in the Nordics.

Industry reporting says the newly signed wind contracts supply roughly one‑fifth of the 1 GW of electricity Amazon expects to have secured for its Swedish operations, according to TV4 and the Swedish news agency TT.

Developer background and ownership

Two Swedish renewable‑energy firms are behind the four wind farms: Eolus AB and OX2 AB. OX2 is owned by the private‑equity group EQT AB. Nordic sources note that Eolus transferred ownership of the three farms to sustainable‑investment manager Mirova in December 2025.

Financial terms remain private

Both MoneyCheck and other outlets confirm that the financial structure and monetary value of the four PPAs have not been disclosed by Amazon or the developers.

Implications for AI‑compute expansion

The Swedish wind capacity could generate electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of more than 350 000 households. Amazon has also signalled a major AI‑compute build‑out, planning to add another 2 million Nvidia GPUs to its data‑centre fleet during 2027‑2028, on top of a million GPUs slated for installation in the current year. Securing low‑carbon power at scale is therefore a critical element of the company’s strategy to support energy‑intensive AI workloads.

Conclusion

Amazon’s quartet of Swedish wind PPAs deliver close to 200 MW of clean electricity, moving the company’s contracted renewable capacity toward the 1 GW mark. The deals dovetail with an aggressive AI‑compute expansion, significant regional capital investment, and a broader industry move toward embedding power procurement directly into data‑centre growth plans.
