Description: AES The AES February 27, 2026
The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) is a global power generation and utility firm that owns and operates a diversified mix of assets-including coal, gas, hydro, wind, solar, biomass and energy-storage facilities-to produce and sell electricity to utilities, industrial customers and end-users across the United States and internationally.
As of the latest FY 2025 results, AES reported revenue of $13.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 billion, with its renewable portfolio now representing roughly 45 % of its 32,109 MW generation capacity. The company serves about 2.7 million customers and has expanded its energy-storage footprint to 1.2 GW, positioning it for growth in ancillary services markets.
Key sector drivers include accelerating decarbonization mandates, rising demand for grid-flexibility solutions, and favorable tax credits that are boosting investment in offshore wind and battery storage. Additionally, higher natural-gas prices and tighter emissions regulations are prompting utilities to shift toward AES’s cleaner-fuel assets.
