Why nations and organizations of every kind turn to AES to meet their decarbonization targets.
AES named #1 in clean energy globally for corporations
AES claimed the top spot as the #1 global clean energy developer for corporations in 2021 according to BloombergNEF (BNEF).
Accelerating progress toward our own ambitious climate targets
We’re on track to eliminate coal generation by 2025, increase renewables by 3-4 GW annually and reach net-zero by 2040.
AES is one of only 14 energy companies on track to actually combat climate change
Out of 140 major energy company transition plans to be released since COP26, only 14 are ambitious enough to keep global warming to 1.5°C.
Enabling the energy industry to rapidly decarbonize through our innovative businesses
Our scalable businesses in energy storage, digital energy efficiency, innovative solar solutions and electric vehicles are growing rapidly to help other organizations meet their sustainability goals.
Driving clean energy policy
We work with industry peers and governments to drive reliability, affordability and clean energy adoption.
Empowering individuals to easily reduce their carbon footprint
We create partnerships with leaders of every kind in the energy transition.
The products we’ve co-created with our customers are changing how the world is powered
Together with Microsoft
70% of the world’s internet traffic passes through data centers located in Virginia, and together with Microsoft, we’re making the internet greener. We partnered together to provide Microsoft with around-the-clock renewable energy to power its Virginia-based data centers.
Panama
AES Panama, together with the Technological University in Colón, designed the “Preparandome con Energia” (“Preparing with Energy”) program for local youth to develop technical skills and be hired by local suppliers in the province. Since the program launched, more than 50% of the participants successfully joined the local workforce.
United States
In 2022, we retired 206 MW of coal generation and signed agreements for 431 MW of new solar, wind and energy storage projects in Hawaii. In advance of retirement, worked with stakeholders to develop a responsible transition plan.
Chile
AES Andes is seeking to convert a coal-fired power plant into a 560 MW emissions-free storage system using molten solar salts a pioneering initiative worldwide that seeks an alternative for the conversion of thermoelectric plants. The project also involves training the workers at the current power plant in the new technology to preserve employment opportunities.
Together with Google
Google announced a world-leading goal to operate on 100% carbon-free energy by 2030 and set this goal knowing that a 24/7 carbon-free energy solution didn’t yet exist. AES and Google partnered together to develop a world-leading 24/7 carbon-free energy solution where we will supply Google’s data centers with time-matched carbon-free energy through a custom mix of solar, wind, hydropower and battery energy storage resources.
Together with Microsoft
70% of the world’s internet traffic passes through data centers located in Virginia, and together with Microsoft, we’re making the internet greener. We partnered together to provide Microsoft with around-the-clock renewable energy to power its Virginia-based data centers.
Together with Anheuser-Busch
Anheuser-Busch produces 3 million cases of beverages per year using solar electricity as a result of our partnership in co-creating onsite generation solutions.
Together with Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) and the U.S. Navy
Energy reliability and resiliency are critical for KIUC and the U.S. Navy. Together, we co-created the largest microgrid within the Department of Defense through a first-of-its-kind solar-plus-storage microgrid, marking the first time a 24/7 renewable energy solution is being used to ensure 24/7 mission readiness while also supporting the local island grid.
AES El Salvador and Blink
Through AES El Salvador’s utility business, we’re bringing electromobility to the country by increasing EV adoption and expanding distribution networks and charging stations throughout El Salvador.
A 100% green society is now possible with new, innovative products and solutions we’re co-creating with our partners every day.
We can help you decarbonize in the just transition by applying technologies of every kind to make your energy work for you.
