Amazon Energy is buying a massive Oregon solar project to bypass the utilities it’s currently suing for more power. (PV Magazine)
A US bankruptcy court approved Amazon's $83M bid to acquire the Sunstone project from bankrupt developer Pine Gate Renewables, handing the tech giant a shovel-ready site with 1.2 GW of solar and battery storage.
The context: The purchase gives Amazon a dedicated power source in Oregon, a region where it’s currently facing severe capacity shortages and is actively suing local utilities for failing to meet its energy needs.
