Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) will invest A$20 billion (approx. $12.97 billion USD) between 2025 and 2029 to expand its data center infrastructure in Australia, aiming to strengthen the country's artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. The company made the announcement in a recent blog post, highlighting its largest tech investment in Australia to date.
The multibillion-dollar investment will enhance Amazon Web Services (AWS) operations with new server capacity designed to support growing demand for generative AI workloads and cloud computing. As global tech giants race to meet surging infrastructure needs, this move underscores Amazon’s long-term commitment to securing its position in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
In addition to data center expansion, Amazon is increasing its renewable energy efforts with the development of three new solar farms across Victoria and Queensland. These projects will deliver over 170 megawatts of combined capacity, further aligning the company’s operations with its sustainability goals.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese praised the announcement on social media platform X, calling it a “huge vote of confidence in the Australian economy.” He added that the investment would boost national productivity and prepare the country for a tech-driven future.
Amazon’s expansion in Australia mirrors similar efforts globally. Earlier this month, the company revealed plans to invest $20 billion in Pennsylvania, $10 billion in North Carolina, and over $5 billion in Taiwan, all aimed at scaling cloud and AI infrastructure.
As demand for generative AI tools and cloud services surges, tech leaders including Amazon, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) continue to accelerate their infrastructure growth strategies. Amazon’s bold push in Australia positions it at the forefront of AI development while reinforcing its global data center footprint.
