Pennsylvania

Together, we are transforming how we power Pennsylvania.

AES is committed to supporting a safe and reliable clean energy transition as we invest in our local communities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In December 2021, AES acquired Pennsylvania-based clean energy developer Community Energy. Community Energy and AES have a history of 20+ years of experience pioneering innovative renewable energy solutions in the Commonwealth.

AES is committed to delivering safe and reliable renewable energy through responsible and impactful development.

AES has 220 MW of clean energy development in Pennsylvania. Our projects create jobs, build community partnerships, generate substantial revenue for local governments and protect the environment. We are dedicated to building meaningful partnerships with local nonprofits, educational institutions and local businesses to ensure our projects provide long-lasting benefits to the community.

Building partnerships to strengthen communities

We believe in being a good neighbor, ensuring responsible clean energy development that benefits both the environment and local communities. At AES, we understand that our success as a company is only as strong as our partnerships with the communities where we operate. That’s why we partner with communities, customers, state agencies, higher education and elected officials to see how we can best work together to support sustainable social and economic development that complement the local geography and unique culture.

Clean energy benefits local communities

AES is committed to responsible clean energy development that creates long-term positive impact for both the environment and local communities.

AES’ Great Cove Solar project has provided a unique opportunity for high-value economic and environmental development impact, including:

Scholarship funding toward the Ernie Tarner Scholarship Fund for Franklin County college students to pursue an education in the environmental field
Scholarship funding to support graduating seniors of Tuscarora Public Schools
Funding toward the Franklin and Fulton County Fairs to support the fairgrounds as an important community gathering space
Research partnership with the University of Pennsylvania’s Environmental Innovations
Initiative to test best-management practices for solar arrays that could boost soil health and help better understand land impacts that could accelerate the benefits of clean energy projects industry-wide

Preserving the land and creating new opportunities with landowners

We understand the importance of protecting farmland and preserving the local environment when developing renewable energy projects. AES seeks opportunities to deliver added value through our best practices in project development to protect the land for future generations.

We offer landowners opportunities to tap into new sources of revenue on their land while retaining ownership throughout the entire life of the project. For many, this is a welcome complement to land use and an opportunity to diversify their land investment while hedging against volatile commodity prices. For others, our projects offer an income stream and land-use option where none otherwise existed.

Our team and landowners work together, in partnership, from the early stages of site discussions, through permitting, construction, and operation. The landowner relationship with AES is built on trust and open communication, ensuring our projects create a long-lasting, positive impact for our landowners and local communities.
