"Our strategic collaboration with AWS accelerates our efficiency and digital transformation while we deliver stable, reliable and more sustainable infrastructure that gets power to the right place at the right time."

The companies will explore energy solutions for Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) data center development and scaling. Siemens Energy will provide turnkey substation solutions for connecting Amazon's data centers to electrical grids and explore gigawatt-scale power generation, microgrids, and backup power concepts to support data center demand.
