#ICYMI: Last week, we launched the first utility-scale wind generation facility in Mississippi: AES' Delta Wind Project. We celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony filled with faces of hope, enthusiasm and commitment toward a sustainable future! The 184 MW facility provides reliable, renewable energy to Amazon to power its facilities and operations. It also features some of the tallest wind turbines of any onshore wind project in the US at a tip height of 692 feet. Beyond clean energy, the Delta Wind Project signifies a wave of economic revitalization—creating jobs, boosting tax revenue and enabling continued agricultural prosperity beneath its turbines .  It was an honor to share this milestone with state representatives, Tunica County leadership, esteemed project stakeholders, including our partners at Amazon, and, most importantly, the vibrant community of Tunica County.  Many thanks to Terrance Unrein, Cali Campbell, MS, PE, Michael Berg, Jimmy Fleenor, P.E., Juan del Cid, Tyree Nesbit, Sarah Sawyer, Kenny Van Ballegooyen, Cory Blair, Jace Jones, Josephine Navatovu, Daniel Winer and the many other AES team members and project partners. From all of us at AES, thank you for your support, your belief in renewable energy and your role in making the #DeltaWindFarm project a resounding success. Let's continue to harness the wind of change together. 💨🌍  🔗 : https://lnkd.in/eFAfj2Cj #AES #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #EconomicDevelopment #Mississippi #DeltaWindFarm #CleanEnergy #YesAES 

Solar energy is growing more rapidly than any other energy source, a clear sign that the transition to renewable power is accelerating. A recent CNBC article echoes the dives into the growth of solar as Big Tech companies continue to prioritize carbon-free energy, especially for high-demand data centers. Our President and CEO, Andrés Gluski, emphasized, "They are cheaper, they are clean and quite frankly easier to site, so the future is going to be renewable energy." With large power agreements with industry giants like Google and Amazon, our commitment to clean power is resolute. In 2021, AES and Google partnered together to develop a first-of-its-kind 24/7 carbon free energy solution, and AES committed to supply Google’s Virginia data center campus with time-matched carbon-free energy for at least 90% of all hours.. The journey towards an all-renewable future, however, is not without its trials. The industry faces challenges, from overcoming connection bottlenecks to the need for cheaper, more efficient battery storage solutions to ensure 24/7 renewable power. But these are hurdles we're ready to clear. Read the full article by CNBC: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g6iscSFT _ #AES #SolarEnergy #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #CleanPower #Innovation #AESintheNews

🌱It's been a year since the dedicated team at Penonomé Wind Farm, spearheaded by our Environmental, Health, Safety and Security (EHS&S), O&M, and General Services teams, along with environmental specialists from PROTECMA, embarked on an ambitious Biodiversity Conservation Program aimed at protecting and nurturing our local iguana population. 🦎Last month, a landmark moment unfolded at the Penonomé Wind Farm: the release of the first 100 iguanas, part of a significant and strategic release schedule informed by our in-depth biodiversity studies. Miguel Bolinaga, Market Business Leader of AES Panamá said, "Our conservation efforts at the Wind Farm reflect our unwavering dedication to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices. By educating, creating safe havens, and reintroducing iguanas back into their natural habitat, we're fostering a symbiotic relationship between wildlife, our team, and the community. Today, we're not only releasing iguanas— we're reaffirming our pledge to safeguard biodiversity and tackle climate change head-on." 🌍 The green iguana, vital for ecological equilibrium through their role in seed dispersion, faces severe threats from hunting and habitat loss. Our conservation efforts are crucial for their survival and for maintaining our planet's rich biodiversity. Join us as we celebrate this step towards ecological harmony and stay tuned for more updates on how we're turning the tide for these essential reptiles and our environment. #AESPanamá #BiodiversityConservation #GreenIguanas #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #EcosystemPreservation

Today AES Chief Technology & Innovation Officer Ashley Smith and AES Chief Information & Digital Officer David Orr took to the stage at Edison Electric Institute to talk about how AI is both transforming the workplace and the work. Putting innovation to work is at the core of everything we do at AES. “It starts with cultural adoption - putting the tools in our people’s hands so they can see it and start testing and innovating their own experience,” Dave said. “AI also provides an opportunity to reimagine how we do everything,” Ashley noted, referencing AES’ collaboration with X, the moonshot factory (formerly Google X) on transforming how clean energy connects with the grid, and leveraging AI in AES’ solar robots to assist workers, enhance safety, and speed up deployment. Our partnership with the brightest minds and leveraging cutting-edge technology, like AI, is propelling us into the future of clean energy and beyond.
