Google and US power supplier AES have announced a decade long strategic alliance to accelerate the growth and adoption of clean energy using Google Cloud technology to pioneer innovation in the sector.

The alliance builds on the recent agreement between Google and AES to provide long-term renewable power to Google’s data centre in Chile, and the two companies will now work together on energy management and opportunities to sponsor clean energy projects in targeted markets in the US and Latin America.

AES will use Google Cloud technology to help create the grid of the future and improve the experience for energy customers. AES innovation partner, Uplight, will also utilise Google Cloud technology to enhance its end-to-end energy action system, to increase customer satisfaction and reduce carbon emissions.

“Cloud technology is an enabler for forward-leaning organisations seeking to put customers at the centre of their business strategies,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud. “Together, AES and Google Cloud will leverage the cloud, AI/ML and data analytics to help transform the energy industry’s infrastructure, while driving wider adoption of renewable energy around the world.”
