Snowflake launches Energy Solutions for its AI Data Cloud, uniting governance capabilities, partner-built solutions, and critical datasets to help power, utilities, and oil & gas companies securely connect IT, OT, and IoT data—accelerating modernization, operational efficiency, and progress toward a more reliable, lower-carbon energy future.

Quick Intel

  • Snowflake Energy Solutions integrate governance, partner solutions, and industry datasets to unify siloed IT, OT, and IoT data on one secure platform.
  • Enables real-time asset visibility, predictive maintenance, grid optimization, emissions reduction, and smarter decision-making at scale.
  • 30+ new partner solutions support key use cases like geospatial analytics (CARTO), advanced grid planning (Itron), and Industrial Edge integration (Siemens).
  • Customers including ExxonMobil, Expand Energy, IGS Energy, PG&E, Powerex, Siemens, and Sunrun already use Snowflake to enhance reliability, reduce costs, and improve sustainability.
  • New SAP partnership combines finance/supply chain data with operational/field data for holistic insights into grid operations and commercial performance.
  • Snowflake Intelligence allows natural language queries for trusted answers in seconds, democratizing decisions across technical and non-technical teams.

Building a Trusted Data Foundation for Energy

Energy organizations face growing pressure to secure infrastructure, boost resilience, and manage volatile markets while advancing sustainability goals. Snowflake Energy Solutions address these priorities by providing a unified, governed platform that bridges traditionally siloed IT, OT, and IoT systems. This secure foundation powers AI-driven applications with real-time visibility across exploration, production, transmission, asset performance, trading, and customer operations.

“Data is the control plane for the future of energy,” said Fred Cohagan, Global Head of Energy, Snowflake. “Whether it’s keeping the grid secure, protecting critical assets, or balancing supply and demand in volatile markets, energy companies need a trusted data foundation that can activate AI everywhere. Snowflake is helping the world’s energy leaders modernize how they manage data and harness AI to democratize insights so that anyone, not just data scientists, can act on intelligence in real time. This shift allows organizations to do more with less, optimize existing assets, and deliver stronger sustainability and shareholder outcomes.”

Partner Ecosystem Driving Industry-Specific Innovation

Snowflake introduces more than 30 new partner-built solutions running natively on the AI Data Cloud, targeting critical energy use cases:

  • CARTO delivers cloud-native spatial analytics and interactive mapping for understanding assets, infrastructure, and geographic risk.
  • Itron’s Grid Planning solution performs 8,760-hour power flow analysis in hours (vs. months), enabling accurate long-term infrastructure planning.
  • Siemens highlights Industrial Edge integration with Snowflake for secure data ingestion from decentralized assets, plus natural language interaction for faster operational insights.

These solutions complement Snowflake’s core capabilities, helping teams predict issues, optimize performance, reduce costs, and support emissions reduction—while maintaining built-in governance, lineage, and compliance.

Real-World Impact from Leading Energy Organizations

Prominent energy companies are already leveraging Snowflake to modernize operations:

  • Expand Energy automates monitoring, streamlines M&A integrations, and applies machine learning via Snowpark to save thousands of hours annually.
  • PG&E consolidates legacy environments, governs sensitive data, and delivers timely analytics to field and control center teams.
  • Sunrun powers analytics and innovation for over 7,500 users with reduced latency and improved accuracy.
  • Powerex migrates from legacy systems to gain speed and scalability for AI-driven forecasting and market insights.

The new SAP partnership further enhances this ecosystem by combining finance and supply chain data with operational and field data, enabling direct insights into grid operations, asset planning, and commercial outcomes.

Snowflake Energy Solutions mark a pivotal step in helping the energy sector harness AI responsibly, unify fragmented data, and accelerate the transition to a more reliable, efficient, and lower-carbon future.
