Global x local

Want to know how we accelerate the future of energy for everyone?

We call it global x local.

You might hear other companies say they are both global and local. At AES, it’s true for us in a way that’s impossible for others to claim.  

We are the only US-based global power company in the world, which gives us a unique set of knowledge to develop and deliver unique energy solutions.  

Our deep local roots mean that we are completely integrated and invested in the communities where we work. We respect and understand the local culture to deliver greener energy solutions in the way that makes the best sense for each community. 

Our global reach means we have the ability and responsibility to develop and deliver new solutions, and to do so at scale. We share the experiences we have so that we can bring innovation and a broader range of solutions from one market to another.
