RWE has signed a Strategic Framework Agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS), furthering their partnership to speed up the utilization of artificial intelligence in renewable energy markets. The refreshed partnership pinned one of its focus areas on enhancing RWE’s digital transformation while helping Amazon reach its clean energy targets. The companies want to put their heads together to unlock smarter, faster, and more sustainable operations using AI-enabled cloud services. Both partners see AI as an important lever to enhance energy management and performance in the rapidly shifting renewable sector today. Their latest move signals a stronger alignment between digital strategy and clean energy goals.
AI at the Core of Digital Transformation
The AWS Collaboration will see RWE deploy advanced AI and machine learning tools across its energy portfolio. RWE plans to integrate AWS-powered AI into core functions, enabling faster decision-making, predictive analytics, and deeper visibility into energy operations. Our digital transformation depends on intelligent infrastructure, said Ulf Kerstin, Chief Commercial Officer of RWE Supply & Trading.
Through this AWS Collaboration, we are leveraging AI to strengthen our trading, forecasting, and performance optimization strategies. AWS’s cloud services will allow RWE to process high volumes of energy data in real-time. This shift supports more agile responses to market changes and renewable generation variability. RWE believes this AI-driven model will give it a long-term edge in the energy transition.
Improving Energy Trading with AI
One of the most tangible results of the AWS Collaboration has been the migration of RWE’s Energy Trading and Risk Management platform to AWS. With AI and analytics built into this new system, RWE has reported a 30% performance boost in critical trading operations. The faster processing times allow RWE to make split-second energy trades, manage risk more efficiently, and forecast supply-demand trends with greater accuracy.
These changes come when volatility in global energy markets is rising, and renewable integration demands smarter digital infrastructure. By embedding AI into RWE’s trading systems, we’re enabling real-time insights that would not be possible in traditional setups, said Howard Gefen, GM for Energy and Utilities at AWS. This is digital transformation in action.
Supporting Clean Energy Goals through Smart Infrastructure
The partnership advances the strategic purpose of RWE and contributes to Amazon’s renewable energy goals. The two organizations have executed seven Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in the U.S. for 1.1 gigawatts of clean energy from wind and solar. The AI-enhanced cloud services provided by Amazon to RWE allow RWE and Amazon to visualize their energy flow, usage, and emissions based on individual data-driven emissions and consumption decisions.
This innovative collaboration of renewable energy generation and smart technology is a new marker in sustainable cloud—sustainable development. Amazon’s push to run its data centers on carbon-free electricity relies heavily on this digital backbone. AI is central to monitoring demand, managing load, and achieving full electrification across operations.
A Scalable Model for the Energy Future
Both companies view this AWS Collaboration as a scalable model for digital growth in the renewable sector. RWE’s investment in AI is representative of the industry shift from manual processes to automation, going from being reactive managers to predictive managers.
The AWS cloud platform provides the capability and computing power. Our goal is to put AI at the heart of our renewable strategy, said Kerstin. This partnership with AWS and our ongoing scaling processes bring us closer to that reality. By harnessing artificial intelligence toward renewable energy goals. The RWE-AWS partnership represents a considerable step forward in the digital transformation of the energy sector. The two businesses will continue to scale their operations. However, AI will work towards a cleaner, faster, and more intelligent energy system for the future.
