The AES Corporation has unveiled its second quarter 2025 financial results, showcasing significant growth in its renewables sector and reaffirming its strong trajectory towards achieving both its 2025 guidance and long-term strategic targets. This latest report highlights the company’s robust performance, particularly in renewable energy initiatives, which are pivotal to its future expansion.

A key highlight from the results is the impressive 56% surge in the Renewables SBU’s Adjusted EBITDA compared to the second quarter of 2024. This substantial increase underscores the efficacy of AES Corporation‘s investment and operational strategies within the clean energy domain. The company’s focus on sustainable solutions is evidently yielding positive financial outcomes.

Strategically, AES remains firmly on track to commission 3.2 GW of new projects into operation throughout 2025, with 1.9 GW already completed by mid-year. The remaining 1.3 GW are reported to be 78% complete, demonstrating efficient project execution and a strong commitment to expanding its global power portfolio. This aggressive development schedule reinforces its position in the market.

A notable achievement since the first quarter call in May involves the signing or awarding of new long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) totaling 1.6 GW for solar and wind projects. Remarkably, all these agreements are with data center companies, positioning AES as a leader in providing power infrastructure for this rapidly expanding sector. This strategic pivot towards data centers illustrates their foresight in market trends.

Andrés Gluski, AES President and CEO, emphasized the company’s strong foundation, citing its diversified operating portfolio, a substantial 12 GW backlog of signed long-term PPAs, and a well-established domestic supply chain. He highlighted AES’s leadership in the fastest-growing market segment due to the significant data center PPAs secured.

Despite a reported Net Loss Attributable to The AES Corporation in Q2 2025 compared to Net Income in Q2 2024—primarily due to higher day-one losses on sales-type leases—the company confidently reaffirmed its annualized growth target for Adjusted EBITDA of 5% to 7% through 2027, and Adjusted EPS growth of 7% to 9% through 2027. These Q2 2025 earnings metrics underline the company’s financial resilience and long-term vision.

The robust growth in Adjusted EBITDA was further attributed to higher contributions from new renewables projects placed in service and improved operations in Colombia, offsetting impacts from asset sales. This operational excellence ensures sustainable growth as the company continues to optimize its portfolio and expand its footprint in key markets.

For investors and stakeholders seeking deeper insights, AES has scheduled a conference call on August 1, 2025, to provide a comprehensive financial review. This commitment to transparency, coupled with their consistent performance in developing and operating essential energy solutions, paints a clear picture of a company poised for continued success.
