Andrés Gluski interviewed on CNN-E

 

Earlier this month, Andrés Gluski, AES President and CEO, participated in a panel at the Second CEO Summit of the Americas in Panama. After his appearance on the panel, he was interviewed on CNN-E to discuss Latin America's energy needs. Andrés noted that Latin America has a large demand for energy but lacks the necessary infrastructure to meet the demand. As he notes, there are still millions of people in Latin America who have no access to electricity. One way to meet this need is through public-private partnerships that provide affordable, reliable and sustainable energy solutions from a combination of energy sources.
