The portfolio is comprised primarily of community solar and commercial solar-plus-storage projects, over a third of which HASI said are paired with energy storage. They cross seven power markets and 11 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

AES will continue to own and operate the projects, which a press release said are “contracted with a diverse group of predominately investment-grade corporate, utility, and municipal off-takers”.

James Marshall, CFO for AES’ clean energy business in the US said: ““AES’ purpose is to accelerate the future of energy. This investment in AES’ operating renewables portfolio represents a continuation of our partnership with HASI that will free up capital to develop and build new clean energy projects in the US.”

Indeed, in May 2023 the utility confirmed plans to triple its renewables capacity by 2027 and abandon coal generation by 2025. A month later, it purchased the 2GW Bellefield solar-plus-storage project in Kern County, California from its developer, Avantus.

Earlier this week, fellow US utility American Electric Power (AEP) sold its entire stake in solar projects in New Mexico to Exus Asset Holdings.
