A first-of-its-kind independent study reveals how Amazon pays for its own power costs while contributing to grid improvements that benefit all customers.


Key takeaways

  • Amazon commissioned an independent research firm to conduct a first-of-its-kind study examining whether data center electricity costs are subsidized by other ratepayers.

  • The research found that Amazon fully pays for its own electricity costs to power its data centers.

  • Amazon data centers can generate surplus revenue that utilities can use to invest in grid improvements for customers.
