Oregon Wind Farm

Avangrid Inc., a sustainable energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, announced the signing of a new power purchase agreement with Amazon to source renewable energy from an Avangrid wind farm located in Gilliam County, Oregon. Amazon Wind Farm Oregon – Leaning Juniper IIA is a repowering project that will significantly extend the life of the existing wind farm and make it work more efficiently. Consisting of 40 turbines, the wind farm will produce enough energy to power 22,800 homes every year. During construction, the project will support about 200 jobs. Additionally, Avangrid has executed contracts to recycle all turbine blades that will be decommissioned with this project, which is estimated to divert more than 1,000 tons of mass from landfill. Through the Avangrid Community Sponsorship Program, the wind farm has contributed to local libraries, preschools, and firefighters. Repowering the project through Amazon's investment ensures this work can continue. Avangrid is headquartered in Orange, Connecticut, and has operations in 24 U.S. states.
