Transformer Loss Control Program Milestone
For most of our businesses, when a transformer fails and needs to be replaced, it takes 45 to 60 days, on average, for the business interruption insurance to materialize. Through the Transformer Loss Control Program (TLCP), AES now has the ability to restore operations at least 20 days earlier, significantly reducing potential losses.
On January 25, 2013, the ship Maersk Illinois entered the port of Houston, Texas with six new AES multi-use transformers. A few days later, the transformers were unloaded, cleared through customs and placed in a secure storage location.
This major milestone for the Transformer Loss Control Program signals the end of the planned phase one, which was focused on program design and transformer manufacturing. |

COO Safety Message
At the start of our 3-year safety action plan in 2010, Andrés began sending a monthly companywide safety message to help each AES person understand the progress we're making towards creating a world-class safety culture and the actions we all need to take to continue to improve. I plan to continue to send these monthly messages to you as we enter the next phase of making safety our way of life and finding ways to further strengthen our safety culture. |

No matter how many times you hear it, a "Thank You" still means a lot. Here's one example of a customer who took the time to express her gratitude to an AES person who went above and beyond to serve her.
Customer Diana D. called about the excellent customer service she recently received from Dayton Power & Light (DP&L) Customer Service Representative Ashley King. Diana had a lot of very complimentary things to say about her experience with our company, and was particularly impressed with Ashley. It was "the best customer service experience that I have ever had." Diana admitted she is "very particular" when it comes to the level of service she expects, and noted that Ashley far exceeded her expectations.
Congratulations, Ashley, for exemplifying the AES value of striving for excellence and being a great asset to DP&L. |

AES Ebute Helps Rebuild a School in Nigeria
AES Ebute is the third-largest independent power producer in Nigeria. Every day, the business generates and delivers electricity that accelerates businesses, energizes hospitals and schools, and elevates the quality of life for millions of families in Lagos, Nigeria.
When a local school needed help, AES Ebute stepped up to the challenge. The old school infrastructure at Anwar Islam Primary School was so rundown that the school was forced to merge two to three classrooms into one instruction room. As a result, the number of pupils per instruction room grew from 45 to 125. At the same time, the number of teachers increased from one to two, leading to conflicts and negatively impacting the kids.
AES Ebute Business Manager Jean Pierre Moudourou reached out and offered AES Ebute's help to construct a new 6-classroom building, at a cost of 14 million Naira (about US $87,500). |
