As alternatives to traditional fossil fuels become more economically competitive, more necessary and more in demand, we see opportunity. That's why AES is investing in wind generation and visionary climate solutions.

Wind

Over the past few years, AES has made significant inroads into renewables, particularly in wind generation.  Wind is one of the lowest cost renewables per megawatt today, and has tremendous growth potential globally—installed capacity is expected to more than triple worldwide by 2015. 

Climate Solutions

AES is developing projects and technologies that reduce or offset greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions—primarily by capturing and destroying methane in a variety of forms before it reaches the atmosphere—creating attractive opportunities for AES while improving the environment in the process.

AES produces greenhouse gas emissions offsets through the construction and operation of agricultural waste management systems designed to capture methane gas. In addition to its positive impact on the environment, AES’s innovative methane capture process has numerous local health benefits including cleaner drinking water and soil, as well as reduced exposure to mosquito-borne diseases.
