(Reuters) – Japanese trading house Itochu Corp has agreed to supply wind-generated power to Meta Platforms in the United States and solar energy to Amazon in Japan, it said on Wednesday.
Itochu would supply wind-generated power to Meta from the Texas-based Prairie Switch Wind project, set to have capacity of 160 megawatts when launched towards the end of this year and where Itochu agreed to invest.
Separately, Itochu agreed with Amazon to develop 700 solar power sites to supply the e-commerce giant with renewable power in Japan by next year, Itochu said in a statement.
