The AES Corporation, a global power and utility leader, is accelerating its clean energy push while exploring strategic options amid heightened investor interest. Focused on renewables such as solar, wind, energy storage and green H₂, AES strengthens its portfolio through long-term power purchase agreements with major clients like Microsoft and Meta. Large-scale projects in Texas and Kansas are set to go online in 2025, supporting growth despite weather-related outages and restoration costs.

In July 2025, AES shares surged over 9% following reports of potential sale considerations, attracting interest from Brookfield Asset Management and Global Infrastructure Partners. With a $40 billion enterprise value, a leveraged buyout could be one of the sector’s largest. The company also advances a $4 billion joint venture with Air Products to develop green H₂ in North Texas, a critical step toward decarbonizing heavy transport and industry.
