RWE and Amazon Web Services sign Strategic Collaboration

Essen, June 12, 2025

RWE, one of the globally leading energy companies, and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company and the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud, have signed a Strategic Framework Agreement aimed at advancing RWE's digital transformation initiatives and supporting Amazon's broader efforts to power its operations more sustainably by supporting renewable energy projects.

"This strategic framework agreement with AWS represents a significant milestone in our commitment to supporting the digital infrastructure that powers our modern economy with clean energy," said Ulf Kerstin, Chief Commercial Officer of RWE Supply & Trading. "Advancing digitalization and electrification are also driving up demand for electricity. Our competitive portfolio of renewable and flexible energy generation is ideally suited to meet this demand. We are proud to expand our global collaboration with a company like AWS."

"Using advanced capabilities like artificial intelligence and analytics, we'll help RWE accelerate their digital transformation, enabling smarter decision-making and enhanced operational performance throughout their energy business," said Howard Gefen, GM for Energy and Utilities at AWS. "Through this expanded collaboration with RWE, we'll continue to explore new sources of carbon free energy to help decarbonize our operations."

The agreement builds upon an already robust relationship between the two companies. Amazon and RWE have successfully executed seven Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in the United States with an overall capacity of 1.1 Gigawatts, which are helping Amazon power its operations with carbon-free energy. The electricity will be supplied from RWE's wind and solar facilities, some of which are already in operation and some of which are under construction.

Under this new framework, AWS will provide RWE with cloud services solutions to advance its digital transformation journey, including artificial intelligence and data analytics capabilities. AWS successfully collaborated with RWE's Supply & Trading division to migrate mission critical applications to AWS, including their Energy Trading and Risk Management platform enabling 30% performance improvements with end of day runtimes.

Going forward, AWS's cutting-edge technologies will support RWE's continued innovation in trading, commercial asset optimization including renewables and energy AI applications. The collaboration will also deepen ties to RWE's AI Research Laboratory in Seattle to accelerate RWE's leadership in developing forecasting models using advanced AI through large computational power and cloud elasticity.
