Amazon CEO Andy Jassy expects the company to remain the world's largest renewable energy-buying company for "several years to come," he said Thursday.
Why it matters: His comments signal that tech's outsized influence on green energy adoption will remain intact as AI reshapes demand for electricity and resources.
- The remarks came during a closed event in New York with Amazon's chief sustainability officer Kara Hurst in front of Climate Pledge partners.
- They also come less than a week after Microsoft announced a seismic 20-year power purchase agreement with Constellation Energy, which will revive a nuclear reactor at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island.
