AWS Partners to Decarbonize Data Centers
Amazon Web Services, Inc (AWS) announced the signing of a strategic framework agreement (SFA) aimed at supporting the scaling of its data centers and decarbonizing electric power systems.
The tech company will collaborate with GE Vernova Inc., which will provide AWS with new offerings across a broad scope of solutions to electrify and decarbonize data centers across North America, Europe and Asia.
Under the agreement, GE Vernova will continue to provide AWS with turnkey substation solutions to enable connectivity of AWS data centers to the grid, including expansion of major electrical equipment, project management, and construction support, across multiple sites globally. AWS and GE Vernova engineering teams will continue to work together to optimize data center substation design and delivery.
GE Vernova will also collaborate with AWS to enhance the path for commercializing onshore wind development projects.
AWS and GE Vernova signed to explore additional opportunities for GE Vernova to provide power generation equipment and services to AWS as well as work with GE Vernova’s accelerator businesses — Advanced Research, Consulting Services, and Financial Services — to advance energy transition innovation, research, project development and financing.
Under this new collaboration, AWS will provide GE Vernova cloud services solutions to advance its cloud migration and digital innovation efforts, including through generative AI. The collaboration will also help GE Vernova accelerate development cycles and optimize operations for advanced digital technology solutions through large computational power and cloud elasticity. AWS and GE Vernova will further work together to identify opportunities to accelerate GE Vernova’s operational goals, leveraging AWS technologies in artificial intelligence, big data and data analytics.
Additionally, AWS will continue to collaborate with GE Vernova’s Electrification Software business to help support AWS Cloud deployments of software for the electric grid, power generation and manufacturing industries.
“Through this expanded collaboration with GE Vernova, we’ll be able to accelerate data and energy efficiencies, driving reliable and more sustainable operations,” said Howard Gefen, general manager, energy and utilities, AWS, in a statement. “Our shared goals of addressing increased global energy demand, advancing grid security, and decarbonizing electric power systems will help our customers across the globe.”
