IMPACT FOCUS AREAS

Access to energy and basic services

We partner to provide access to safe, efficient, and affordable energy and basic services to the communities where we work.

Economic growth

We work with our partners to contribute to economic development in the communities where we work. Our programs are focused on education, capacity-building, local entrepreneurship, and other workforce development partnerships while contributing to local economies and preserving cultural traditions. 

Partnering for the Environment

We work with our partners to develop programs focused on conservation, restoration, and the creation of green spaces that enhance local environments and provide lasting value for the communities we serve.

Community resilience & relief efforts

We work as one team with our people, contractors, customers, and communities to respond to natural disasters or catastrophes in the communities. This includes making resources available, volunteering, and supporting front-line workers and organizations before, during, and after an event.

Our projects

With operations across the world, AES is a leader in developing and delivering innovative energy solutions tailored to meet the growing needs of our customers and the communities we serve.

Supporting our landowners

We are at the forefront of developing innovative, dual-use projects that co-locate energy projects with agricultural or other productive land uses, increasing the environmental, economic and social benefits for landowners and communities.

New source of reliable revenue: Our leasing options provide landowners with an opportunity for a reliable source of long-term income for the life of the project.

Energy security and sustainability: Support responsible design and development of safe, reliable energy projects in your local community by partnering with AES. 

Local economic growth: Hosting a project brings economic benefits to communities from job creation and business activity to expanded local services and infrastructure.

Collaborating with contractors & suppliers

Our contractors and suppliers play an important role in in helping us deliver positive impact on people and the planet. We promote fair working conditions, responsible resource management, local opportunities, and integrity across our supply chain. We expect our business partners, suppliers and third-party intermediaries that create products for or offer services for us to subscribe to and contribute to our standards and values.
