Energy Solutions

Flexible capacity

AES delivers energy security through flexible, around-the-clock capacity that keeps power reliable as demand fluctuates. By combining industry-leading lithium-ion battery storage with flexible natural gas generation, we provide the dispatchable capacity that power systems need to stay reliable while complementing intermittent renewables.

Natural gas generation

We provide flexible and efficient, gas-fired power generation as a lower-carbon alternative to coal with stability and dispatchability. This solution supports grid reliability while integrating with intermittent renewable energy sources, enabling businesses to transition towards an overall cleaner energy mix.

Coal to natural gas conversion

We help retrofit existing coal power plants to operate on natural gas, reducing carbon emissions, improving efficiency and extending asset life. AES supports this practical transition pathway for businesses and utilities aiming to lower their CO2 emissions while maintaining energy security.

Hydro

With long-lasting infrastructure and rapid output adjustments, hydro power generation enhances grid reliability while helping to manage water resources, prevent flooding, and sustain agricultural irrigation.

A cleaner energy future for the DR:
AES and Energas lead the way

Energas and AES Dominicana formed a joint venture, Energía Natural Dominicana (EnaDom), to reduce the Dominican Republic's reliance on oil by converting existing power generation facilities to natural gas. This collaboration led to the conversion of the 300-MW San Pedro de Macorís Electricity Company (CESPM) plant from diesel to natural gas completed in 2020, contributing to a cleaner and more resilient energy grid where LNG went from suppling approximately 24% of the country’s energy matrix in 2019 to approximately 41% in 2024. The initiative is projected to save the nation $3 billion over ten years and eliminate approximately 892,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.
