Andres Gluski

Andres Gluski has served as President and CEO of AES Corporation since 2011, engineering one of the most dramatic transformations in the global utility sector. When he took charge, AES was a sprawling conglomerate of power plants across 29 countries, heavily weighted toward coal and conventional thermal generation. Gluski systematically divested carbon-intensive assets, exited non-core markets, and repositioned AES as a focused renewable energy and energy storage developer. Under his leadership, AES became a pioneer in utility-scale battery storage through its subsidiary Fluence (a joint venture with Siemens), which has become one of the world's largest energy storage technology providers. AES also secured landmark power purchase agreements with major technology companies including Google and Microsoft to supply their data centers with renewable energy, positioning the company at the intersection of the AI infrastructure boom and clean energy transition. Gluski's key decisions involve the pace of renewable energy project development, capital allocation between organic growth and strategic partnerships, the commercialization strategy for Fluence's energy storage technology, international market positioning (with significant operations in Latin America and Asia), and managing the regulatory and political risks inherent in operating across 15 countries. His track record of disciplined portfolio rotation has earned AES a valuation premium relative to peers.
