#AWS plans 80 MW solar farm In virginia to power eastern US datacenters Amazon web services (AWS) has announced plans for an 80-megawatt solar farm in Accomack County, Virginia.
Once operational in October 2016, AWS says the Amazon Solar Farm US East will be the largest solar farm In virginia,
generating 170,000-megawatt hours of solar power annually that will be pumped into the electrical grids that power AWS cloud datacenters in the eastern and central US.
