Every day, all around the
world, our people generate
and distribute the
electricity that accelerates
businesses, energizes
hospitals and schools, and
elevates the quality of
life. Combining
deep local insights, global
presence and perspective,
and a relentless commitment
to operational excellence
and values, we help
communities and countries
grow through reliable and
responsible electric power.
We operate in extremely
diverse markets, from the
world’s most developed
countries to some of the
fastest growing economies.
Everywhere we operate, we
believe that dependable
electricity is essential to
human progress and to
advancing economic growth,
public health and security.
As one of the world’s
largest power companies, AES
owns and operates a diverse
and growing portfolio of
generation and distribution
businesses with the capacity
to serve 100 million people
worldwide. Our power plants
encompass a broad range of
technologies and fuel types,
from coal to gas to
renewables such as wind,
hydro and biomass. Our
utilities power major
cities, from São Paulo to
Indianapolis to Douala.
Beyond power, we also mine
coal, turn seawater into
drinking water, and are
committing significant
resources to alternative
sources of energy to ensure
a sustainable future. We
also are building a climate
change business, to develop
projects that offset
greenhouse gas emissions and
produce emissions offset
credits.
AES brings the combined
expertise of a global force
of 27,000 people to each of
our businesses. Sharing
knowledge among that network
is a core component of the
way AES does business. It’s
how we work, and how we
improve. Our customers and
business partners count on
the unique insights of our
people, benefiting from the
collective experience of
AES. That’s why we deploy
networks of
experts—circulating
ingenuity and best practices
throughout our global
enterprise to continually
bring insights and expertise
to each particular
challenge.
AES has always been a
values-driven company.
Rooted in the cultures in
which we live and work, we
are dedicated to improving
the lives of the people we
serve. Honoring our
commitments to all of our
stakeholders—our customers,
teammates, communities,
owners, suppliers and
partners—is explicitly part
of our shared values. Our
stated values put safety
first and stress that all of
our people act with
integrity and strive for
excellence. We also embrace
having fun through work.
It’s a unique aspect of our
culture and people, who
bring to work every day a
passion and belief that AES
can and does make a
difference. These values
both reflect who we are, and
help to shape our future and
the world around us. |

AES History
For
more than two decades, AES
has helped drive energy
sector growth and pioneered
advances in many markets,
generating global industry
leadership from innovation
and operational excellence.
AES is a global power
company with generation and
distribution businesses
across five continents.
Founded in 1981, AES built
its first power plant in
1985 in Texas, which was
also one of the first
competitive power plants in
the United States. During
AES’s first five years, we
added three plants in the
US, and began looking for
opportunities to take our
financing, construction and
operational experience
global.
In the early 1990’s, as
markets opened up globally,
AES began generating
electricity in the United
Kingdom, and expanded to
Argentina, Pakistan, China,
Hungary and Brazil. An
early mover, in 1998 we
acquired a minority stake in
a power plant in the first
and only generation
privatization in India. In
West Africa and Central
America, we have brought
electricity to places that
never knew reliable power,
while electrifying urban
centers, including São Paulo
and Indianapolis. We have
helped pioneer new pollution
control technologies and
biomass conversions
while expanding — to Qatar,
Oman, Sri Lanka,
Cameroon—and more recently
to Bulgaria, where we are
building our single largest
greenfield project
investment to date. We have
also brought renewable
sources of energy to market
through acquisition and
development through AES Wind
Generation in the US, China
and Europe, and AES Solar
Energy, LLC our JV with
Riverstone Holdings.
Today, through our
portfolio of thermal and
renewable fuel sources --
biomass, coal, diesel, gas,
hydropower, solar, wind - we
safely provide affordable
and sustainable energy in 29
countries. Throughout our
history, the people of AES
have always stayed at the
forefront of change, as a
positive force in the energy
sector as well as the
communities in which we work
and live. With significant
global reach, deep local
knowledge and distinctive
operational skills, we are
committed to operational
excellence and to meeting
the world's changing energy
needs.
