Amazon Web Services (AWS) has signed a deal with green energy storage firm AES as part of its move to be powered by renewable energy by 2025.
In a statement, AES said the PPAs are part of a number of projects that will help Amazon achieve its goal of having its global operations powered by 100 per cent renewable energy by 2025, which is five years ahead of its original schedule.
AES CEO Andrés Gluski said: “Together with Amazon, we are showing how customised energy solutions and innovative thinking can help organisations of all kinds to decarbonise their operations and the grid.”
AES will work with Fluence Energy, a subsidiary company that it formed with Siemens in 2018, to deliver on one of these projects, it confirmed.
Meanwhile, Fluence Energy has announced that it is working with AWS to bring to market applications that will help other companies to transition to using green energy. The company said it also intends to draw on Amazon’s artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) portfolio of products and services to bring new capabilities to some of its existing applications, such as its Fluence IQ Digital Platform.
