Keynote Session: Powering Energy Innovation with AI at Scale

February 03, 2026
Ballroom 20
Keynote Session

The world's demand for computation and AI is skyrocketing and so is the need for energy to power it. Amazon is projected to invest over $118 billion in tech infrastructure this year alone, much of it going toward supporting AI workloads. This scale of investment doesn't just transform cloud computing, it reshapes regional energy infrastructure, accelerates renewable adoption, and opens the door for energy companies to participate in developing long-term solutions with hyperscalers and policymakers.

This panel brings together AWS leadership, energy industry partners, and policy voices to explore:

• How hyperscale cloud infrastructure is driving new energy demand patterns

• AWS approach to responsible energy sourcing, renewables, and next-gen nuclear (SMRs)

• How these investments create regional energy infrastructure and jobs

• The role of energy companies and regulators in shaping a sustainable digital and energy future

• How AWS cloud solutions, from NERC-CIP compliance to Generative AI workflows and strategic partnerships, are enabling energy sector transformation
