Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	. ACQUISITIONS Long Point and Hot Air — On September 20, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase Long Point, an early development-stage project consisting of a 300 MW wind facility, a 150 MW solar facility, and a 40 MW battery storage facility, and Hot Air, an early development-stage 350 MW wind facility, both located in Arizona. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The total consideration paid of $6 million, including transaction costs, was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities on a relative fair value basis, primarily consisting of intangible assets. The remaining contingent consideration of up to $47 million, which is not recorded at this time, will be recognized as part of the projects’ assets when the contingencies are resolved, and the consideration is paid or becomes payable. Long Point and Hot Air are reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment. Birdseye — On April 5, 2024, the Company closed on the acquisition of 100% of Sol Madison Solar, LLC, a 63 MW construction-stage solar project in Virginia, and a pipeline of early-stage renewable energy development projects. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination at a purchase price of $20 million; therefore, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, primarily consisting of CWIP and a PPA liability, were recorded at their fair values. No goodwill was recognized as a result of the acquisition. The Company has recorded preliminary amounts for the purchase price allocation; however, the Company may continue to make adjustments. Birdseye is reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment. Hoosier Wind — In August 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary AES Indiana, filed for IURC issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (“CPCN”) approving the acquisition of 100% of the interests in Hoosier Wind Project, LLC., which is an existing 106 MW wind facility located in Benton County, Indiana. IURC approval was received on January 24, 2024, and the transaction closed on February 29, 2024. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. Of the total consideration transferred of $93 million, including transaction costs, approximately $49 million was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired on a relative fair value basis, primarily consisting of tangible wind farm assets and typical working capital items. The remaining consideration was allocated to the termination of the pre-existing PPA between AES Indiana and the Hoosier Wind Project, estimated using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology, which was deferred as a long-term regulatory asset. Hoosier Wind is reported in the Utilities SBU reportable segment.
