Iberdrola Harnesses AWS Generative AI Technologies to Drive Innovation and Sustainability in the Energy Sector

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced that Iberdrola, one of the world’s largest clean energy companies, has selected AWS as its preferred cloud provider for generative artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, as part of their global partnership. Iberdrola will use AWS technologies, including Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker, to develop generative AI applications that drive efficiency, personalize customer-facing interactions, and improve energy production processes.

Earlier this year, Iberdrola established a generative AI Center of Excellence (CoE) with AWS to develop more than 100 generative AI applications that enhance the customer experience, support employees, and improve business processes. The energy company uses a generative AI platform built on Amazon Bedrock to provide its workforce with access to a choice of the world’s leading foundation models and tools to easily and securely build generative AI applications. For example, the company is building a generative AI application that will help the Iberdrola legal team quickly find and ask questions about corporate contracts. In addition, Iberdrola is developing generative AI assistants that use real-time internet of things (IoT) data to provide field maintenance workers with specific instructions on how to service and repair power infrastructure and renewable sites more efficiently. Iberdrola is also using generative AI-powered voicebots that help sales teams answer customer questions around products and tariffs in real time.

Experts from AWS Professional Services will develop a next-generation data platform that will help Iberdrola to further optimize the electricity being generated from its renewable energy assets. This centralized data lake will consolidate data from Iberdrola's renewable energy assets and business operations, enabling the company to better gain operational insights. By integrating the data from over 400 renewable energy sites globally, Iberdrola will use AWS generative AI, Renewables Data Lake and Analytics, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon SageMaker to conduct real-time asset monitoring, initiate predictive maintenance, and generate power-demand forecasts to increase operational efficiency.
