In March, AES agreed to be acquired by a consortium including Global Infrastructure Partners and EQT for $33.4 billion, including debt. The transaction is expected to close in late 2026 or early 2027.
AES has utility and generation assets in many countries. This diversification helps reduce country- and region-specific risk.
AES faces above-average political risk with a significant portion of earnings from businesses or projects in developing countries.
