GE Vernova, Amazon Web Services Extend Cloud-Based Energy Management Collaboration
Power equipment firm GE Vernova is expanding its collaboration with cloud-service giant Amazon Web Services (AWS) on making energy management software accessible on the data cloud.
The multi-year agreement is focused around GE Vernova’s Asset Performance Management (APM) and CERius software to be delivered in the AWS cloud. One of the companies utilizing the energy management software is utility holding company and energy project developer AES.
“As the energy landscape continues to dynamically transform, the power of flexible cloud-based software is increasingly important,” said Scott Reese, CEO of GE Vernova’s Electrification Software business, in a statement. “The expansion of our strategic agreement with AWS represents our commitment to providing digital solutions that can help energy organizations increase reliability, lower costs, and make measurable progress on energy transition goals.”
GE Vernova deploys its APM technology for AES as a software-as-a-service solution. It provides predictive analytics and real-time monitoring to help utilities and operators monitor energy assets.
CERius is GE Vernova’s emissions data management software designed to automate emissions data collection and help identify future reduction opportunities.
“As the industry faces the challenges of network efficiency and decarbonization, our collaboration with GE Vernova provides a unique opportunity to reshape asset performance and emissions management,” said Scott Sanderson, Director of Business Development, Energy and Utilities at AWS. “Together, we’re enabling customers to accelerate innovation, reduce their carbon footprint, and sustain financial performance.”
AWS, one of the world’s biggest cloud-based data center providers, is working toward net-zero goals both on its own emissions and partnering to help others on clean energy outcomes. The company has joined with Accenture and WindEurope to develop software that aims to streamline interconnection processes in parts of Europe, while working with U.S. partners such as Duke Energy and Occidental on better energy efficiency fronts.
GE Vernova is formerly GE Power, a part of the larger General Electric that was spun off into its own company in 2024. It was formed with the merger of GE Power, GE Renewables and GE Digital.
