Feature Story:  

AES reaches 100 MW grid-scale storage resources in US

Company Confidential

Greetings! 

 

Last month, nearly 150 AES people gathered in Indianapolis, Indiana for the global Congress on Innovation, Technical Excellence and Sustainable Practices. For two days AES people from around the globe shared their innovative ideas. AES Sul (part of the Brazil SBU) took home second place in the People category for their project "AES Brazil Innovation Forum." 

 

The innovation forum is based on the crowd-sourcing concept that allows greater collaboration among AES people across departments. The "collective intelligence" environment allows individuals to collectively think together, solving problems more efficiently. This collaborative environment provides a space for someone to share their own idea or problem and invite others to comment and provide input, turning problems into solutions and ideas into action.
