Overview AES Corporation

We are a global power company, dedicated to improving lives by providing safe, reliable and sustainable energy solutions in every market we serve. We own a portfolio of electricity generation and distribution businesses on five continents in 27 countries, with total capacity of approximately 44,200 Megawatts (“MW”) and distribution networks serving approximately 12million customers. In addition, we have approximately 2,400MW under construction in eight countries. We were incorporated in Delaware in 1981.

We own and operate two primary types of businesses. The first is our Generation business, where we own and/or operate power plants to generate and sell power to wholesale customers such as utilities and other intermediaries. The second is our Utilities business ,where we own and/or operate utilities to generate, distribute, transmit and sell electricity to end-user customers in the residential, commercial, industrial and governmental sectors within a defined service area.

Our assets are diverse with respect to fuel source and type of market, which helps reduce certain types of operating risk. Our portfolio employs a broad range of fuels including coal, diesel, fuel oil, natural gas, biomass and renewable sources such as hydroelectric power, wind and solar, which reduces the risks associated with dependence on anyone fuel source. Our portfolio combines a presence in stable markets in developed countries with faster growing emerging markets. In addition, our Generation portfolio is largely contracted, which reduces the risk related to market prices of electricity and fuel. We also attempt to limit risk by matching the currency of most of our subsidiary debt to the revenue of the underlying business and by hedging some of our interest rate and commodity risk.

Our goal is to maximize value for our shareholders by growing cashflow and earnings per share and achieving better returns on our investments. We will expand our platforms in our core markets, specifically Brazil, Chile, Colombia and the United States, and will work to develop growth platforms in key markets including Turkey, Poland and the United Kingdom. Overtime, by focusing our growth and exiting select non-strategic markets, we expect to narrow our geographic focus to achieve better results with fewer countries. Across our portfolio, we will work to optimize profitability, as well as reduce our overhead and business development costs
