Update data set to reflect new renewable energy guidance for AWS Regions #75

Open sissonbs opened 1 year ago

sissonbs commented 1 year ago

Following the release of the Amazon annual sustainability report the Amazon public website was updated and now details an expanded list of AWS Regions that were powered by over 95% renewable energy in 2021.

" To achieve our goal of powering our operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025—five years ahead of our original 2030 target—Amazon contracts for renewable power from utility scale wind and solar projects that add clean energy to the grid. These new renewable projects support hundreds of jobs while providing hundreds of millions of dollars of investment in local communities. We also may choose to support these grids through the purchase of environmental attributes, like Renewable Energy Certificates and Guarantees of Origin, in line with our Renewable Energy Methodology.

As a result, in 2021, the following AWS Regions were powered by over 95% renewable energy:

US East (Northern Virginia) GovCloud (US-East) US East (Ohio) US West (Oregon) GovCloud (US-West) US West (Northern California) Canada (Central) Europe (Ireland) Europe (Frankfurt) Europe (London) Europe (Milan) Europe (Paris) Europe (Stockholm) "

thanks for opening this @sissonbs . I've created a matching issue on the relevant repo, where we have a built an importer that we would need to update to account for these changes.
