Overview

The AES Corporation is a Fortune 500 energy company that invests in, owns and operates power generation, utilities and LNG infrastructure. The world no longer thinks of energy as a matter of supply and demand. Now it’s a space for innovation and partnership. With this transformation comes a responsibility to work with a smarter approach, new thinking informed by past experiences, and with stronger collaboration between regulators and innovators, old systems and new technologies. Its generation fleet includes solar, hydro, wind, natural gas, coal and battery storage assets, with 34.7 GW in operation and 5.7 GW under construction.

At AES, we partner with our organizations from industries of every kind, across all markets and at every stage of development, and we’ve been doing it for decades. We know that every organization is at a unique place in their energy journey. A one-size fits all approach using outdated technology isn’t going to cut it. When you work with AES, you can expect to work in partnership with us to create innovative, customized energy solutions that deliver the most value to you and your energy goals while empowering the growth of your business.
