All together with GRID Alternatives

AES is committed to creating positive social and economic impacts in the communities where we operate. On October 28, 2022, and June 16, 2023, a group of eight AES employees assisted GRID workforce trainees in an AES sponsored rooftop solar installation on Denver homes. The new solar systems allowed the homeowners to cut an estimated 90% of electricity costs as well as feed electricity back to the grid. Over the next 20 years, the homeowners are expected to save over $10,000 each in utility bills.

Volunteering in our communities aligns with our values of Highest Standards and All Together, fosters closer community relationships, and expands our local networks. GRID Alternatives Colorado installs rooftop, community, and multifamily solar systems for income-qualified households and affordable housing providers throughout the state, providing families with needed savings. They also train Colorado workers for jobs in the growing solar industry, making them a highly valued partner of AES.

Preserving the land and creating new opportunities with landowners

We understand the importance of protecting farmland and preserving the local environment when developing renewable energy projects. AES seeks opportunities to deliver added value through our best practices in project development to protect the land for future generations.

We offer landowners opportunities to tap into new sources of revenue on their land while retaining ownership throughout the entire life of the project. For many, this is a welcome complement to land use and an opportunity to diversify their land investment while hedging against volatile commodity prices. For others, our projects offer an income stream and land-use option where none otherwise existed.

Our team and landowners work together, in partnership, from the early stages of site discussions, through permitting, construction, and operation. The landowner relationship with AES is built on trust and open communication, ensuring our projects create a long-lasting, positive impact for our landowners and local communities.
