Through this collaboration, GE Digital and AWS plan to deliver intelligent grid orchestration solutions. These software solutions will help utilities to digitally transform, modernize the power grid, and accelerate the energy transition.

GE Digital will deliver a new grid operating software platform, GridOS, and cloud-enabled solutions that are designed to be more secure, quicker to deploy, and help reduce operational and infrastructure costs for energy organizations. The two companies aim to also help streamline the migration of on-premises solutions onto AWS, execute integrated go-to-market activities, launch solutions in the AWS Marketplace, and help to train developers.

With this new agreement in place, GE Digital and AWS will work together to help electric utilities accelerate hybrid cloud adoption when and where needed, along with deployment of solutions on the GridOS platform to help solve mission-critical challenges at the speed of the energy transition.
