AES is a global leader in developing and delivering innovative energy solutions tailored to meet the needs of our customers and the communities we serve. We are committed to strengthening our positive impact by working with our stakeholders to accelerate the future of energy, together.
Committed to supporting our landowners
AES is on the cutting edge in developing innovative, dual-use projects – co-locating 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.
Sustainability and clean energy in your local community: Support responsible design and development of clean energy projects in your local community by partnering with AES.
Land preserved for future generations: At the end of the project’s life, the land can be sensitively restored to allow a return to farming or other uses consistent with land-use policies at the time.
Together with our contractors & suppliers
Our contractors & suppliers play an important role in helping us achieve our sustainability goals. Promoting acceptable working conditions, environmentally responsible management and ethical behavior are all key parts of our commitment. To deliver on this commitment, we need to ensure our suppliers are aligned with our values and work with the highest standards.
