Amazon is one of many big businesses turning to renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind.
It's expected that they will start producing energy in 2020, according to Amazon.
The project in Ireland will be a wind farm with 23.2 megawatts of capacity and is set to generate 68,000 megawatt hours of energy per year. The facility in Virginia, a solar farm, will have 45 MW of capacity and produce an expected 100,000 MWh of energy each year. The facilities, which will take the company's number of renewable energy projects to 66, will be used to supply energy to data centers for Amazon Web Services. In the U.S., the company says its solar power projects have offset the carbon dioxide equivalent of over 200 million miles of truck deliveries.
