RENEWABLES AND CLIMATE SOLUTIONS       WIND       
 
  Already a major wind generator in the US, AES has the experience and global presence to lead in harnessing this renewable resource in markets around the world.

AES expanded into wind in 2004, leveraging our more than 25 years experience in originating, financing and developing power projects all over the world.  Today AES Wind Generation operates more than 1,200 MW of capacity with a global workforce of more than 300 people dedicated to the wind business. 

In the US, we operate in five states:  California, Iowa, Minnesota, Oregon and Texas.  Globally, AES Wind Generation operates, acquires and develops greenfield projects, often with local partners.  We have minority stakes in China through Guohua Hulunbeier and in France with InnoVent.  

In 2008, AES Wind Generation brought 285 MW online in China and the US (California and Texas), and construction is underway to expand our portfolio by 410 MW through projects in Bulgaria, China, Scotland and the US by 2010.
