The AES Corporation

The AES Corporation is a global utility and power generation company headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, U.S. Its mission is to accelerate a safer and greener energy future, aiming to improve lives by delivering reliable, lower-carbon power and integrated energy solutions. The company is committed to leading the transition to a zero-carbon, resilient energy future through innovation and scale.

AES owns and operates a diverse portfolio of power plants, generating and selling electricity to various customers, including utilities, industrial facilities, and residential sectors across 15 countries. Key offerings include renewable energy solutions such as solar, wind, and hydro power, as well as advanced battery energy storage systems, natural gas, and grid modernization technologies. The company also provides critical energy infrastructure solutions, including transmission and distribution networks, and serves key customer segments like technology and data centers, mining and metals, and commercial and industrial clients.

Andrés Gluski serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In a significant development, a consortium led by BlackRock subsidiary Global Infrastructure Partners and Swedish private equity firm EQT AB agreed in March 2026 to acquire AES in a take-private deal valued at over $45 billion, including debt. This transaction, expected to close in late 2026 or early 2027, positions AES as a critical partner in powering the AI revolution and supporting industries of the future, particularly through its role as a major provider of clean energy to corporations and data centers.
