The partnership will see GE Vernova provide AWS with turnkey substation solutions to enable the connectivity of AWS data centers to the grid. This includes expanding major electrical equipment, project management, and construction support across multiple sites globally.

“We are excited to work in collaboration with AWS as they advance their computing capabilities and data center capacity. We believe that GE Vernova is well positioned through its broad portfolio of energy products and services to help AWS obtain reliable, cost-effective, and more sustainable electricity for its data centers in support of its growth objectives,” Pablo Koziner, chief commercial officer, GE Vernova said.

In addition, the two companies will collaborate on renewable development to support the commercialization of onshore wind development projects.

The partners will also 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 to advance energy transition innovation, research, project development, and financing.

In addition, AWS will provide GE Vernova with cloud services solutions to advance its cloud migration and digital innovation efforts, including through generative AI.

This will introduce new potential technologies and cloud services, including AWS High-Performance Computing.

The companies say the collaboration will aid GE Vernova in accelerating development cycles and optimizing operations for advanced digital technology solutions through large computational power and cloud elasticity.

“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 for energy and utilities at AWS. “Our shared goals of addressing increased global energy demand, advancing grid security, and decarbonizing electric power systems will help our customers across the globe.”
