KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – 5 August 2025 – Clean energy solutions provider
Gentari and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have signed a Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA) for an 80MW wind power project in Tamil Nadu, India.
Following a collaboration agreement signed in 2023 with AWS, this
PPA marks a concrete step towards the shared ambition of delivering new, cost-effective,
utility-scale renewable energy projects. Targeted to commence operations in
mid-2027, the project is expected to generate approximately 300,000 MWh of
renewable energy annually. Through the supply of renewable energy, Gentari is
advancing its vision of putting clean energy into action, while supporting AWS's
goal of reaching net-zero carbon by 2040.
The PPA was
marked by a document exchange ceremony between AWS and Gentari. Gentari was
represented by its Chief Renewables Officer, Low Kian Min, while AWS was
represented by Managing Director of ASEAN, Jeff Johnson. The exchange was
witnessed by Tengku Muhammad Taufik, Chairman of Gentari and President &
Group Chief Executive Officer (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.
“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,” said Sushil
Purohit, CEO of Gentari.
"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," said Jeff
Johnson, Managing Director, ASEAN, AWS.
The
collaboration between Gentari and AWS reflects a broader, continuous commitment
to unlocking scalable clean energy solutions across the region. As Gentari
continues to grow its presence in renewable energy, hydrogen, and green
mobility, the company remains focused on building lasting partnerships that
drive tangible impact and accelerate the journey to net zero.
