Amazon Expands Renewable Energy Footprint With Three New Projects In Greece

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

February 4, 2025

Amazon has announced a major investment in three new renewable energy initiatives across Greece, boosting its commitment to sustainable energy sources. These projects bring the total number of power purchase agreements (PPAs) Amazon has signed in the country to eight, aligning with the company’s broader climate goals as part of its Climate Pledge initiative. The pledge includes achieving net-zero carbon emissions across all its operations by 2040.

The latest projects, with a combined capacity of 657 MW of carbon-free energy, are expected to power around 330,000 households in Greece. Thanasis Patsakas, Country Manager for Greece at Amazon Web Services (AWS), stated, “Amazon is dedicated to driving the transition to carbon-free energy not just for our operations, but for the communities where we serve our customers. We’re proud to have secured eight wind and solar energy deals in Greece, positioning Amazon as the top corporate buyer of renewable energy in both Greece and Europe by 2024.”

Among the recent agreements are the Elzet solar farm and Menelou wind farm, both owned by Portugal’s Greenvolt. Located in Thessaly and Western Greece respectively, these projects are part of a broader strategy to bolster the region’s renewable energy capabilities. The Hellas Green solar farm, developed by Luxcara, adds to this momentum in Western Macedonia.

Minister of Environment and Energy, Theodoros Skylakakis, praised Amazon’s ongoing investments in Greece, highlighting the importance of renewable energy sources for the country’s energy transition. “Greece holds a natural advantage in renewable energy, and Amazon’s continued investment is a catalyst for achieving our national energy goals,” Skylakakis noted. “Such initiatives not only provide environmental benefits but also create new jobs and offer affordable electricity to local households.”

Looking ahead, Amazon has also committed to additional projects, including the Vermi wind farm in Macedonia and wind farms in Peloponnese’s Mesokorfi and Koukouras areas, which are expected to begin operations in 2026.

Anthropic Launches Claude Fable 5 With New AI Safety Controls

June 10, 2026

New Model Sets The Bar For AI Safety And Efficiency

Anthropic has launched Claude Fable 5, the latest public version of its Mythos model, expanding access to a system designed for software engineering, knowledge work and computer vision tasks. The company said high-risk requests involving areas such as cybersecurity, biology, chemistry and AI model distillation will be redirected to Claude Opus 4.8, which has been configured with additional safeguards.

Strategic Rollout And Broader Accessibility

Mythos was initially made available to a limited group of partners in April as Anthropic evaluated potential cybersecurity risks associated with the model. Access was expanded last week to hundreds of organisations across 15 countries, primarily those operating critical infrastructure. Claude Fable 5 is now available through Anthropic’s Claude API and usage-based Enterprise plans. Early access has also been included in selected subscription tiers ahead of a broader pricing rollout scheduled for June 23.

Advancing Safety And Industry Standards

Anthropic said the model underwent extensive safety testing before release, including bug bounty programmes and red-team exercises conducted by external organisations. According to the company, more than 1,000 hours of testing did not identify any universal jailbreak vulnerabilities.

A mandatory 30-day data retention policy will apply to all traffic processed by the model, including accounts that previously operated under zero-retention agreements. Anthropic said the measure is intended to improve monitoring and protection against emerging security threats.

Outstanding Performance And Competitive Pricing

Independent evaluations, including testing by analytics company Hex, reported strong performance in complex reasoning and analytical tasks. Companies, including Base44 and Genspark, highlighted improvements in tool use and interface design capabilities. Pricing has been set at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, compared with lower rates for previous models. Some enterprise customers, including Rakuten, said the model’s ability to verify aspects of its own output could help improve efficiency in tasks that require higher levels of accuracy.

Implications For The AI Market

The release comes as Anthropic prepares for a potential public market debut, and competition among leading AI developers continues to intensify. Alongside performance improvements, the company has placed significant emphasis on model safety, reflecting broader industry concerns around misuse, jailbreak attempts and the risks associated with increasingly capable AI systems.
