Amazon Powers Up with RWE in AI-Renewables Exchange Deal

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the stocks that Donald Trump owns. German utility RWE and Amazon have sketched out an unusually symmetrical barter deal that swaps electrons for algorithms. Announced in Paris on 12 June 2025, the framework agreement has RWE funneling clean power from its existing and under‑construction wind‑and‑solar fleet to Amazon’s voracious data‑centre arm, while AWS returns the favour with cloud horsepower, AI tools and data‑analytics expertise. 

The numbers are already weighty: Amazon has locked in 1.1 gigawatts (GW) of RWE renewables through seven U.S. power‑purchase agreements, and the partners hint at more PPAs, and possibly joint project development, across Europe. For RWE, the upside isn’t just a long‑dated revenue stream; it’s access to Amazon’s compute muscle for faster energy‑trading models and more accurate wind‑and‑solar forecasting. The utility says migrating critical trading applications to AWS has already shaved 30 percent off end‑of‑day runtimes.

Amazon, meanwhile, gets a clearer path toward its 100 %‑renewable target and a green narrative to soften the optics of its expanding cloud footprint. RWE’s AI Research Lab in Seattle will now work directly with AWS engineers to craft next‑gen forecasting models, tightening the feedback loop between electrons generated in Europe and code executed in the Pacific Northwest.

In short, two giants are trading what the other lacks, one provides kilowatt‑hours, the other petaflops, creating a template for how hyperscalers and utilities might co‑evolve as both electricity demand and AI workloads surge.

While we acknowledge the potential of AMZN as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
