<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Arlington, VA, May&nbsp;15,
2008 &#151; The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) today said that it has priced its previously
announced private placement of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $625
million principal amount of 8.0% senior notes due 2020.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">AES intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of
the notes to purchase any senior notes tendered and to pay for consents
delivered in the tender offer and consent solicitation that AES is undertaking
concurrently with the offering of notes, as well as the fees and expenses
incurred in connection therewith. In addition, up to $213 million of proceeds
may be used for general corporate purposes to replenish funds which will be
used to pay at maturity on May&nbsp;15, 2008 AES&#146;s outstanding 6.0% Junior
Subordinated Convertible Debentures due 2008, which are held by the AES Trust
VII which in turn will use such proceeds to pay at maturity the Trust
Convertible Preferred Securities. To the extent any of the net proceeds from
the sale of the notes are not used for such purposes, AES intends to use any
remaining net proceeds to repay other debt.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The senior notes will not
be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities
laws.&nbsp; Therefore, the senior notes may not be offered or sold in the
United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable
securities laws.&nbsp; This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a
solicitation of an offer to buy the senior notes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This news release
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933 and of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, those related to future earnings,
growth and financial and operating performance.&nbsp; Forward-looking
statements are not intended to be a guarantee of future results, but instead
constitute AES&#146;s current expectations based on reasonable assumptions.
Forecasted financial information is based on certain material
assumptions.&nbsp; These assumptions include, but are not limited to, continued
normal levels of operating performance and electricity volume at our
distribution companies and operational performance at our generation businesses
consistent with historical levels, as well as achievements of planned
productivity improvements and incremental growth investments at normalized
investment levels and rates of return consistent with prior experience.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Actual results could
differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements due to
risks, uncertainties and other factors. Important factors that could affect
actual results are discussed in AES&#146;s filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including, but not limited to, the risks discussed under Item 1A &#147;Risk
Factors&#148; in AES&#146;s 2007 Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K. Readers are encouraged
to read AES&#146;s filings to learn more about the risk factors associated with AES&#146;s
business. AES undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.</font></p>
