This past November, I announced GE Vernova’s redesigned GridOS Partner Program. With that announcement, the Partner Program took on a new identity as a fully fledged, structured, and symbiotic organization connecting our Grid Software customers with the solutions and services they needed to improve their experiences with grid orchestration.
GridOS Partner Program Strategic Alliances
Today represents the latest development in that relaunch. I am excited to share that we are launching our first Strategic Alliance Partners in the GridOS Partner Program.

The partner organizations that form our Strategic Alliance Partners offer customers faster access to innovation, specialized expertise, and proven delivery models – all of which can greatly expedite and streamline the GridOS experience. They do this through their leading technology platforms, industry-leading AI and analytics solutions, and transformation and change management expertise. And importantly, all our Strategic Alliance Partners have significant experience applying their solutions specifically to the unique challenges and business models of the utility industry. It all ensures GE Vernova’s utility customers can modernize with confidence and clarity.

These Strategic Alliance Partners don’t just “work with” GridOS—they also co-invest, co-innovate, and co-deliver. They are actively involved with GE Vernova as we work to help utilities succeed in the modern energy era. That means they can also offer better-aligned roadmaps, stronger enablement, and more-tightly integrated solutions that help utilities unlock data, improve decision-making, and accelerate large-scale transformation in company with their existing GridOS solutions. From control room modernization to cloud-native grid orchestration and AI-powered analytics, GridOS Strategic Alliance Partners ensure our utility customers have a strong ecosystem supporting their most complex challenges

We are pleased to welcome these partners as our first of the Strategic Alliances category:

Accenture

GE Vernova’s largest global system integrator partner, Accenture was chosen for its strong IT/OT integration skills and business transformation expertise, including “control room of the future,” cloud, data, and AI programs. It has also invested heavily in augmenting their utility-specific industry expertise with technical skills, helping them to optimize deployments and usage of key GridOS applications like DERMS, DDLR, and Visual Intelligence.

AWS

Our Strategic Alliance with AWS is based on collaborative innovation, with GridOS on AWS enabling customers to harness the full power of the AWS platform. Through this partnership, customers can more quickly and easily deploy the latest grid orchestration technology, unlocking the value of their grid operations data to accelerate decision-making, backed by the power of AWS’s secure, resilient, and scalable computing platform.

Microsoft

Microsoft joins as a Strategic Alliance Partner to fuse GE Vernova’s deep domain expertise in grid operations and purpose-built operational technology with Microsoft’s secure, scalable cloud, AI, and analytics. Together, the partnership enables integrated IT/OT transformation—bringing GridOS data into Microsoft’s ecosystem for advanced analytics, AI, and modern user interfaces underpinned by world-class security.

These Strategic Alliances are just the beginning of what the new GridOS Partner Program will unlock for utilities worldwide. Join us at Distributech to explore how Accenture, AWS, and Microsoft can help you optimize the GridOS experience and accelerate your grid modernization journey.
