🚀 Join AWS at CERAWeek for “Speed to Power” on Thursday, March 26, 2026, from 12:00–12:40 PM. This executive panel brings together industry leaders to address one of the most urgent challenges in energy today, delivering reliable power at the pace demand requires. 🎤 Moderated by Chengyao Peng, Director, S&P Global | Panel features: Andrew Flanagan, CEO, RWE Clean Energy | Stacey Doré, Chief Strategy & Sustainability Officer and EVP of Public Affairs, Vistra Corp. | Ben Wilson, President, National Grid Ventures & Chief IS External Affairs Officer, National Grid | Joseph Santamaria, General Manager, Energy & Utilities, Amazon Web Services (AWS) ⚡ Electricity demand in the U.S. is rising at a rate not seen in decades, driven by AI, electrification, and industrial growth. At the same time, grid expansion faces real constraints, permitting delays, capital gaps, and integration complexity. This session will focus on what it takes to move faster: 🔹 Scaling transmission and generation infrastructure to meet load growth 🔹 Prioritizing investments that unlock capacity quickly and efficiently 🔹 Navigating permitting and regulatory barriers that slow deployment 🔹 Leveraging technology and data to improve grid resilience and speed to delivery The next phase of energy leadership will be defined by execution. Speed, reliability, and strategic investment will separate those who keep up from those who fall behind.

The AI Frontier Has a Power Problem—And We're Addressing It at CERAWeek Next week at CERAWeek in Houston, AWS will join industry leaders for a critical conversation: Electrons at Scale: Powering the AI Frontier. The reality? AI growth is no longer constrained by models. It's constrained by power. Hyperscale compute demand is driving exponential energy consumption—forcing a fundamental redesign of how we generate, finance, and deliver electricity. This isn't a future challenge. It's operational today. Join us for this essential panel featuring: • Matt O'Connor, CIO International Energy, Carlyle • Aamir Paul, President North America, Schneider Electric • Spyros Svoronos, Global Head of Industrials, Barclays • Bruno Melles, EVP & MD, Hitachi Energy • Ed Baine, EVP Utility Operations, Dominion Energy • Kerry Person, VP DC Planning & Delivery, Amazon Web Services (AWS) Moderator: Eduard Sala de Vedruna, Head of Research, Horizons, S&P Global Energy We'll address: ✓ Redesigning the grid for exponential AI-driven load growth ✓ Structuring multi-billion dollar "power-for-tech" investments under market volatility ✓ Closing the growing "power gap" through cross-sector partnerships ✓ Evolving energy delivery models for speed, scale, and reliability The convergence of cloud, capital, and energy isn't theoretical—it's operational. The companies that solve for power at scale will define the next generation of market leaders. Looking forward to this dialogue on building the energy systems required to support the AI-driven economy. 🔗 More information, here: https://go.aws/4bSHAMN
