Gentari and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have inked a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for an 80-megawatt (MW) wind power project in Tamil Nadu, India. The deal builds on a collaboration agreement signed in 2023, and it marks a tangible step forward in delivering new, cost effective, utility-scale renewable energy infrastructure.
Targeted to begin operations in mid-2027, the wind power project is expected to generate around 300,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity per year. Gentari said this output will contribute to AWS’s global net-zero carbon commitment by 2040, while aligning with Gentari’s mission to deliver clean energy solutions at scale.
At the signing ceremony, Gentari was represented by Chief Renewables Officer Low Kian Min, while AWS was represented by ASEAN Managing Director Jeff Johnson.
The document exchange was witnessed by Tengku Muhammad Taufik, Chairman of Gentari and President & Group CEO of Petronas; Sushil Purohit, CEO of Gentari; Uwem Ukpong, Vice President of Global Services at AWS; and Ir Ts Mohd Yusri Mohamed Yusof, Senior Vice President of Projects, Technology and Health, Safety, Security & Environment at Petronas.
Commenting on the partnership, Gentari CEO Sushil Purohit said, “This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to advancing practical, scalable, and clean energy solutions – vital for Asia and the world’s move towards a low-carbon future. Through projects like the Karur wind development, we are not just adding renewable capacity – we are addressing real energy needs where it matters most. Together with AWS, we are focused on delivering impact through action and enabling the broader energy ecosystem to transition. Gentari is excited to support AWS in their net zero journey, and we welcome more partners to join us in building a more robust clean energy ecosystem.”
AWS’s Jeff Johnson added, “As the world’s largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy globally, AWS continues to work towards our goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Our collaboration with Gentari, a Malaysian clean energy leader expanding its regional impact, brings us a step closer towards that. We’re proud to work with forward-thinking organisations like Gentari who share our commitment to both technological advancement and environmental stewardship.”
The PPA reflects both companies’ efforts to unlock scalable clean energy deployment across Asia. Gentari currently focuses on three pillars: renewable energy, hydrogen and green mobility. The Petronas green energy arm said it is focused on building lasting partnerships that drive tangible impact and accelerate the journey to net zero.
