Outline Action Item Details

Amazon released their own sustainability report with a few relevant headline claims:

100% of electricity consumed by Amazon was matched with renewable energy sources, up from 90% in 2022

This an org wide figure covering all of Amazon, not just AWS, but given that it's 100% now, 100% of Amazon would also mean 100% of AWS power is backed by matching energy attribute certificates, because it's part of Amazon.

Here's one of the key slides:

Cyril Deblois also directed me to this further documentation - which provides some extra detail on how the the 100% figure is being calculated.

The spreadsheets would likely need to be updated, definitely provider-carbon-intensity-market-annual, but perhaps some of the other ones too.
