Wind energy technology

Wind energy uses natural air currents to produce clean predictably priced power, local revenue, and jobs for communities. Because wind turbines are compatible with ranching and agriculture, they foster highly efficient land use and income for landowners. At AES, we maximize the value of wind energy by developing large-scale onshore wind farms, ensuring our communities have access to abundant, reliable, and cost-effective clean power.

Wind energy benefits

The wind leverages a natural resource to produce cost-competitive, secure energy that reduces carbon emissions, stabilizes your electricity costs, and creates jobs in your community.
