Hasnain says:

"All 14 other cloud providers combined have 1/5th the aggregate capacity of AWS (estimate by Gartner)

Every day, AWS adds enough new server capacity to support all of Amazon’s global infrastructure when it was a $7B annual revenue enterprise (in 2004).

Amazon has designed and built their own power substations. It only saves a little money, but they can build them much faster. Utility companies are not used to dealing with the rate AWS is growing at, so they had to build their own."
