AES El Salvador: sustainability with a nationwide vision

February 3, 2026

In an environment where energy defines competitiveness, development, and investment confidence, AES El Salvador solidifies its position as a strategic player.

The company conceives sustainability not merely as a discourse, but as a way of doing business with a nationwide vision.

Discussing energy and sustainability as a single concept implies much more than the incorporation of technology and best practices. It involves guaranteeing service continuity and energy quality, reducing environmental impacts, and operating under standards that build trust among customers and the market.

Under this approach, AES has integrated sustainability as a structural pillar of its operating model, applied transversally across its business lines: Distribution, Generation, and Solutions. From this perspective, the company articulates its strategy through four pillars aimed at long-term value creation:

  • Environmental Impact: Driving the transition toward a renewable energy matrix, electric mobility, and responsible waste and environmental management.
  • Social Wellbeing and Development: Through programs that promote women's inclusion and generate growth opportunities for communities.
  • Customer Experience: Supported by innovation and digitalization to ensure a reliable supply.
  • Ethics and Governance: Utilizing practices that reinforce transparency and the highest management standards.

Positive Impact

In recent years, its sustainability vision has allowed it to generate a positive impact on the productive sector. This has been achieved through the development of energy efficiency programs for industry and by supporting companies seeking to improve their sustainability goals via self-consumption projects, electromobility, and other initiatives.

At the same time, the company understands that there is no sustainability without human development. Therefore, it promotes technical training initiatives, safety and energy efficiency education for schools and communities, as well as entrepreneurship and inclusion programs aimed at women's participation in the electricity sector. In this field, AES has driven the technical training of more than 1,000 women over the last decade, contributing significantly to female participation in the industry.

Institutional Strength for Development

AES El Salvador operates under world-class corporate standards and holds international certifications in Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 45001), Environment (ISO 14001), and Quality (ISO 9001). These back its business model by strengthening risk management, process control, and continuous improvement.

Thus, in a context marked by growing energy challenges, the company consolidates its position in the sector through reliable service, a solid governance model, and a permanent commitment to the growth of industry, commerce, and the improvement of the quality of life in the communities it serves—contributing concretely to the country's progress and sustainable development.
