“ If you don ’ t have the data , how can you measure ?”

TOBIAS KEDERER EMEA HEAD OF SUSTAINABILITY & MIGRATION / MODERNISATION , AWS
Alternatively , managing major energy network infrastructure in a more predictable way requires a significant amount of insight , but consists of data that is usable .
The energy sector has experienced the challenge that comes with data . While it is great to acquire in abundance , it requires strategic management and optimisation to be effective for forecasting demand and energy production requirements – overall better grid management will help reduce reliance on fossil fuels .
Speaking to the audience about the key steps that AWS takes to improve sustainability , Kederer highlights the key stages : migration , optimisation , and transformation . Kederer explains that companies ‘ green it , then the fun starts ’. By this we can assume he means assigning data to AWS ’ more sustainable services that allow further integration with AI and machine learning .
Migrating data to the cloud is an early task that can reduce the need for on-premise data storage . In doing so , organisations are shifting their data management into third-party data centres , which can therefore undergo further processes , such as optimising the information . As a digital partner in this space , Kederer explains AWS ’ approach from there . energydigital . com 107
