Talking point: Buffalo Plains is the fourth renewable project from which Amazon has purchased clean power in Canada. The company also buys electricity from the Travers solar project, Canada’s largest solar development located a few kilometres from Buffalo Plains in Vulcan County, south of Calgary. Amazon will use the electricity to power its planned cloud computing hub in Calgary and fulfilment centres as part of a broader target to reach 100 per cent renewable energy supplies by 2030. As The Logic previously reported, Buffalo Plains was met with fierce local opposition, as southern Alberta landowners push back against a renewable energy boom in the region.
