Global investment leader selects AWS as a
preferred cloud provider to gain business insights, improve
workplace safety, and automate hydroelectric, wind, and solar
operations
Brookfield Renewable agrees to provide clean
energy capacity to power Amazon’s operations on three
continents
At AWS re:Invent, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an
Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced that
Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM, TSX: BAM.A), one of the
world's leading investors in renewable power, has selected AWS as a
preferred cloud provider to accelerate its digital transformation
and become a more data-driven company in the cloud. Brookfield
migrated its legacy systems to AWS and is using AWS’s analytics,
containers, Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and storage
capabilities, as well as AWS’s extensive partner network, to
modernize its technology infrastructure, optimize operations, and
boost innovation.
In addition to its agreement with AWS, Brookfield Renewable, a
subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management and one of the world’s
largest publicly traded renewable power platforms, will provide
601.6 megawatts (MW) of clean wind and solar energy capacity to
power Amazon’s operations in Europe, North America, and India. In
total, these projects are expected to generate 1,370 gigawatt-hours
(GWh), which is enough to power more than 120,000 U.S. homes per
year.
“Our partnership with Amazon is a tremendously exciting example
of companies working together to reach net zero,” said Ruth Kent,
chief operating officer at Brookfield Renewable. “AWS is helping us
modernize our operational systems, giving us the scalability,
reliability, and innovation we need to deliver clean energy around
the world. In return, Brookfield Renewable will provide renewable
power to Amazon on three continents, which will help Amazon stay on
path to power its operations with 100% renewable energy. We look
forward to seeing what more this partnership can bring in the
future.”
Working with AWS Professional Services, AWS Managed Service
Provider (MSP) BDO Lixar, and AWS Partner Databricks, Brookfield
Asset Management consolidated 40 petabytes of data in a data lake
on AWS to optimize facility operations, increase production output,
and improve equipment performance. Applying AWS machine learning
and analytics capabilities to this data helps the company automate
key aspects of its operations. These capabilities enable Brookfield
to proactively manage complex commercial transactions, improve
returns on assets, and reduce operating costs. Brookfield Asset
Management also uses Databricks’ Lakehouse Platform on Amazon
Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) to provide a central data
analytics platform that is increasing operational efficiency and
reducing costs across more than 10 internal business organizations
(including Trading, Risk, Origination, and Operations).
In addition, Brookfield Asset Management is implementing
improved workplace safety technology, collaborating with AWS and
AWS Partner Blackline Safety to provide real-time employee safety
monitoring at three hydroelectric dam sites in the U.S. Employees
wear Blackline’s G7 wearable safety devices, which rely on Amazon
Kinesis (AWS’s service for easily collecting, processing, and
analyzing video and data streams in real time) for high-speed
streaming data ingestion of location and safety data into the
cloud, and Amazon Redshift (AWS’s cloud data warehouse) to detect
if an employee is in danger or needs assistance, thereby triggering
an alert for supervisors to send help.
“Together with Brookfield Asset Management, we are advancing the
use of renewable energy around the globe,” said Howard Gefen,
general manager of Energy & Utilities at AWS. “Brookfield is
tapping into the breadth and depth of AWS’s proven global
infrastructure, services, and partner community to better harness
its data, become more flexible and scalable, and gain better
insights into its businesses. In addition, working with Brookfield
Renewable will keep Amazon on the path to powering our operations
with 100% renewable energy while adding more clean energy to grids
around the world.”
The collaboration announced today keeps Amazon on track to power
its operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025, five years ahead
of its original 2030 commitment, and to reach net-zero carbon
emissions by 2040. The committed 601.6 MW of power purchase
agreements (PPAs) will provide electricity to seven Amazon
projects—three in the United States (in Arkansas, Illinois, and
Mississippi), three in Europe (in Spain, Northern Ireland, and
Italy), and one of Amazon’s first projects in India.
