Gentari and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) to supply approximately 300,000 MWh of renewable energy annually from a utility-scale wind project targeted to begin operations in mid-2027. The deal follows a collaboration agreement signed in 2023 between the two firms.
The PPA was formalised through a document exchange ceremony attended by Gentari Chief Renewables Officer Low Kian Min and AWS ASEAN Managing Director Jeff Johnson.
Gentari CEO Sushil Purohit said the agreement supports both companies’ climate goals and addresses energy needs through practical and scalable solutions, including the upcoming Karur wind development.
AWS’s Johnson described the partnership as part of its broader strategy to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 and lauded Gentari’s expanding regional role in clean energy.
The agreement reflects Gentari’s efforts to build long-term partnerships in renewable energy, hydrogen, and green mobility, while advancing utility-scale clean energy deployment across Asia.
