Technologies we integrate
Solar
Solar energy provides clean, predictable energy costs and allows for land to continue to be used for agriculture. We help businesses, utilities, and communities transition to solar by rapidly developing the scalable projects.
Wind
Wind energy creates clean, reliable energy costs, local revenue, and is compatible with existing farming practices. We capture the maximum value of this natural resource by building wind farms at scale.
Hydro
Hydroelectric power is generated from energy in flowing water. AES hydroelectric facilities are well-established investments, making them a cost-efficient source of electricity
Energy Storage
Energy storage offers an array of services to make the grid more reliable and provide backup power for businesses. Our company developed the world’s first utility-scale battery-based energy storage system in 2009 and remains an industry pioneer.
Natural gas flexible capacity
Committed to the energy transition, AES ensures electric reliability by providing flexible, natural gas capacity to meet the quickly changing needs of a renewable-based grid. We are the largest US importer of LNG in Central America and the Caribbean, exceeding $1 billion annually.
