They will supply Amazon with approximately 1,850 GWh of power and with the associated project renewable energy credits (REC s) annually. During construction, ENGIE will create approximately 300 jobs at each wind facility and 210 jobs at each solar facility. Projects are expected to reach commercial operation in 2021 through 2022.
