Chief Digital Officer of Fluence, Seyed Madaeni, added, “Fluence is pleased to work with AWS, supporting our mission – transforming the way we power our world – with AWS data centers increasingly powered by clean energy.”
Under the agreement, Fluence will harness AWS cloud computing services to develop its digital applications targeted at optimizing renewable energy and energy storage. Additionally, Fluence will provide energy storage solutions to AES for some projects powering Amazon operations. In turn, AES will deploy Fluence’s IQ Bidding Application to optimize its energy storage projects.
