AES is proud to deliver impact in our communities beyond just providing renewable energy. Here are 65 ways that AES achieves holistic sustainability across all areas in environmental, social, and governance that you can use to guide conversations with your energy provider and demonstrate your commitment to creating long-term value for both your business and the community
1. Decarbonizing their own portfolio
We are strategically removing coal from our portfolio while increasing renewables. Renewables make up 53% of our generation portfolio, including solar, hydro, wind and energy storage.
2. Climate risk and resilience
AES became the first publicly-traded US utility to publish a Climate Scenario Report per TCFD guidelines and third-party scenarios for physical risk and transition risk from climate change in 2018. We have since updated our risk analysis, highlighting AES' strategy to lead sector decarbonization. Using IEA and IPCC scenarios, AES stress-tested our portfolio's resilience against climate risks, aiming to meet energy needs with innovative solutions.
3. More innovative and impactful clean energy solutions
Google and AES partnered together to develop a world-leading 24/7 carbon-free energy solution to supply Google’s data centers with time-matched carbon-free energy through a custom mix of solar, wind, hydropower and battery-based energy storage resources.
4. Helping businesses be more energy efficient
Through Clean Energy Navigator, AES’ energy management portal, customers can access personalized information to increase energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and reduce time spent analyzing their bill.
5. Promoting a circular economy
In partnership with SOLARCYLCE, we are sending damaged or retired solar panels to SOLARCYCLE’s advanced recycling facility in Odessa, Texas, where they will be responsibly recycled and repurposed. A similar initiative was launched in El Salvador in partnership with Geocycle to transform solar panel components into new raw materials.
