THE AES CORPORATION 2020 Annual Report 2020 Annual report Accelerating the future of energy, together 2020 annual report Accelerating the future of energy, together At AES, we’re leading the world’s transition to greener, smarter energy. We partner with our customers to help them achieve their energy goals, with a focus on offering innovative solutions while maintaining reliability. Our unique combination of global scale and local market knowledge helps us to partner with our customers to strategically transition to new, low-carbon and renewable solutions while continuing to meet their energy needs, and we’ve been doing it with safety, integrity and the highest standards for over four decades. Together with our many stakeholders, we are improving lives and making communities more sustainable. Achieving a higher standard of new energy Each customer’s clean energy journey and sustainability goals are unique. We work together to develop the new renewable energy solutions that meet their needs now, and in the future. Together with KIUC Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) and AES created a new model for delivering large-scale renewable energy in 2019 with the EEI award- winning Lāwa’i Solar and Energy Storage Project. We’re continuing to innovate together with a new solar and pumped storage hydro project that will meet up to 25% of the island’s energy needs while moving Kaua‘i beyond 80% renewable generation with the new West Kaua‘i Energy Project. Driving impact through access and insights We are putting our customers in the driver’s seat with access to cleaner energy and data to help them make informed sustainability decisions and optimize their energy use. We connect our customers to the insights that matter most to create operational efficiencies, fuel innovation and drive meaningful progress toward a sustainable future. Together with CMI We’re helping CMI (Corporación Multi Inversiones) in the Dominican Republic navigate the complex energy landscape and add value to their customer experience. Through our digital customer enablement platform, Clean Energy Navigator , CMI has access to intuitive energy usage visualization, historical costs, budget tracking and bill comparisons with data-driven, personalized and actionable insights. 2 | © 2021 THE AES CORPORATION 2020 annual report Securing a sustainable future Whether it’s optimizing contracts or developing infrastructure solutions and managing complex logistics, we partner to ensure our customers have the cleaner, cost-effective and reliable energy they need. Together with Chile Chile is working toward an ambitious goal to generate 70% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. AES is significantly contributing to Chile’s goal by accelerating the decarbonization of its customers energy supplies and portfolios in order to reach 100% renewable power by the beginning of the next decade. Not only are we working to turn on greener technologies, but we’re also reliably turning off conventional power plants. Last year in Chile, we inaugurated the world’s first virtual reservoir which stores energy in batteries when power prices are low and provides critical capacity at night when it is most in demand. We also began operations of the most efficient solar project in the world, Andes Solar IIa, and are advancing on the construction of 1,074 MW of renewable projects, including the single most important hydro project in the country and Latin America’s largest energy storage system. Gaining scale benefits through shared platforms and applications We joined with our partners and innovative startups to create scalable clean energy solutions to serve our customers and peers in the industry. In building these scalable ecosystems, we accelerate the future of energy by leveraging shared platforms and technologies while continually innovating together with our platform businesses, providing access to sustainable energy solutions with the greatest impact for our customers and the world. Together with 5B 5B is an innovative solar technology business based in Australia. The company’s revolutionary pre-fabricated solar solution, MAVERICK, enables customers to add solar resources at a pace that is three times faster while providing up to two times more energy within the same footprint of traditional solar facilities. With our investment in 5B in 2020, we are making clean energy available in places previously thought impossible. We are removing the barriers to widespread solar energy adoption, ushering in a new wave of customers to meet their short-term and long-term energy goals. © 2021 THE AES CORPORATION | 3 2020 annual report Driving an accelerated future for an accelerated impact Today, we’re closer to the greener, smarter energy future as a result of the work we’re doing together.

While accomplishing so much during such a difficult year, we also laid the foundation for continued growth and leadership in the industry. We see a tremendous opportunity ahead, stemming from both increased electrification of other sectors and the global transition to lower- carbon sources of energy.

  • Enron's Pawns
    Enron’s Pawns How Public Institutions Bankrolled Enron’s Globalization Game byJim Vallette and Daphne Wysham Sustainable Energy and Economy Network Institute for Policy Studies March 22, 2002 About SEEN The Sustainable Energy and Economy Network, a project of the Institute for Policy Studies (Washington, DC), works in partnership with citizens groups nationally and globally on environment, human rights and development issues with a particular focus on energy, climate change, environmental justice, and economic issues, particularly as these play out in North/South relations. SEEN views these issues as inextricably linked to global security, and therefore applies a human security paradigm as a framework for guiding its work. The reliance of rich countries on fossil fuels fosters a climate of insecurity, and a rationale for large military budgets in the North. In the South, it often fosters or nurtures autocratic or dictatorial regimes and corruption, while exacerbating poverty and destroying subsistence cultures and sustainable livelihoods. A continued rapid consumption of fossil fuels also ensures catastrophic environmental consequences: Climate change is a serious, emerging threat to the stability of the planet's ecosystems, and a particular hazard to the world's poorest peo- ple. The threat of climate change also brings more urgency to the need to reorient energy-related investments, using them to provide abundant, clean, safe energy for human needs and sustainable livelihoods. SEEN views energy not as an issue that can be examined in isolation, but rather as a vital resource embedded in a development strategy that must simultaneously address other fundamentals, such as education, health care, public par- ticipation in decision-making, and economic opportunities for the poorest.
