The AES Corporation Launches First Ai-Enabled Solar Installation Robot The AES Corporation introduced Maximo, a groundbreaking, AI-powered robot that enhances solar installation speed, efficiency and safety. Maximo is a first-of-its-kind robotic solution that works alongside construction teams to help meet rapidly growing renewable energy demand. According to the IEA, by 2035, solar annual additions are expected to triple, and the workforce will need to nearly double. Maximo can install solar panels in half the time and half the cost, working together with on-the-ground crews to accelerate renewable energy deployment, reducing time-to-power for customers. Maximo enhances the safety and scalability of solar installation by automating the heavy lifting for placing and attaching solar modules. It accelerates project timelines, creates new high-tech jobs and brings opportunities to new segments of the workforce. Maximo expands job opportunities in solar installation, while providing individuals the experience to develop AI skills and learn emerging technologies. Maximo has already installed nearly 10 MW of solar and is projected to install 100 MW by 2025. AES expects to use Maximo to help build up to 5 GW of its solar backlog and pipeline over the next three years. AES will utilize Maximo in its construction of the 2 GW Bellefield project in Kern County, California, the solar-plus-storage project in the US, under contract with Amazon. Oak Ridge Solar project in Louisiana, also helping power Amazon operations, was a significant milestone in Maximo's journey as its first utility-scale deployment. Maximo's AI-powered features include: AI-Powered Computer Vision: Ensures precise panel placement, enhancing installation accuracy. Continuous Learning: Adapting for optimal performance and driving efficiency improvements. Image reconstruction: Proprietary generative AI pipeline that reconstructs images obscured by glare or related lighting conditions. Maximo can perform in a broad range of climates and lighting conditions and has been validated in the field across a variety of US project sites. It will begin installing at Bellefield in August.

AES Reportedly in Talks to Sell Major Coal-Fired Power Plant in Vietnam U.S. energy firm AES Corp. (AES.N) is in talks to sell its majority stake in one of Vietnam's largest coal-fired power plants, two people familiar with the discussions said, as part of its global strategy to divest coal assets by the end of 2025. AES is discussing the sale with Sev.En Global Investments A.S., the financial vehicle for foreign acquisitions of Czech energy firm Sev.en Group, ultimately owned by billionaire Pavel Tykac, the two people told Reuters, declining to be named because no deal had been finalised yet. It was not clear if AES was in talks with other potential buyers. The plant's second-largest shareholder, South Korea's energy firm Posco International Corporation (KOSE:A047050), told Reuters it was also considering selling its 30% stake, but did not elaborate further. AES had no immediate comment. Sev.en declined to comment. AES had tried to sell its 51% stake in the 1.2 gigawatt Mong Duong 2 coal-fired power plant in 2021 but the deal fell through after the company said it signed a sale agreement with a consortium led by an undisclosed "U.S.-based investor". The sources did not say how much AES's stake could be valued at under the current deal being considered. Posco's 30% stake was valued at $185 million when it had tried to sell in 2021, according to a regulatory filing from the company. That deal, which collapsed like the AES one did, would have valued the plant at over $600 million. Sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corporation (CIC), which owns the remaining 19% stake in the plant, is considering selling under the terms agreed by AES with potential buyers, one of the sources said. It is unclear whether CIC was also considering a potential sale to a possible buyer of Posco's stake. CIC did not reply to a request for comment. Anuncio • Oct 07

AES Commences Operation of First Phase of Chevelon Butte Wind Farm The AES Corporation announced the start of commercial operations for phase one of the Chevelon Butte wind farm. The project is located on the Chevelon Butte Ranch in Coconino and Navajo Counties, Arizona. AES' Chevelon Butte project is expected to produce a total of 454 MW of wind energy once both phases are fully operational next year. This first phase of the project will bring 238 MW of clean energy online with the remaining 216 MW expected to achieve commercial operations in 2024. The wind farm will be compatible with existing land uses, enabling the landowner family and Arizona State Land Department to continue the more than a century-long tradition of raising livestock and stewardship of this property. All lease payments to the State Land Department will directly fund Arizona public schools, universities and other in-state beneficiaries. In close coordination with regulators and permitting authorities, AES also incorporated unique design features to avoid sensitive environmental resources and preserve Northern Arizona's internationally recognized dark sky characteristics by integrating a radar-activated lighting system that enables the federally required turbine lights to turn on only when low-flying aircraft are in the vicinity. The project will use the most advanced wind energy technology deployed to-date and will include a total of 105 wind turbines at full buildout. Once both phases are complete, AES' Chevelon Butte wind facility is expected to generate enough electricity to power 110,000 homes annually. Anuncio • Jan 05
