as the undersigned?s true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:


1. prepare, execute in the undersigned?s name and on the undersigned?s
behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
?SEC?) a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any other documents
necessary or appropriate to enroll in EDGAR Next and/or to obtain codes
and passwords or passphrases enabling the undersigned to make electronic
filings with the SEC of reports required by Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ?Exchange Act?) or any rule or
regulation of the SEC;


2. execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned?s
capacity as an officer, director or ten percent stockholder of The AES
Corporation (the ?Company?), Forms 3, 4, and 5, and Forms 144, including
any amendments thereto, in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder, and Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the ?Securities Act?);


3. do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form

4. act as an account administrator for the undersigned?s EDGAR account,

6. obtain, as the undersigned?s representative and on the undersigned?s
behalf, information regarding transactions in the Company?s equity
securities from any third party, including the Company and any brokers,
dealers, employee benefit plan administrators and trustees, and the
undersigned hereby authorizes any such third party to release any such

7. take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of
benefit to, in the best interests of, or legally required by, the
undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by such
attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power of
Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-
fact?s discretion.


        The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full
power and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing
whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of

and Forms 144 with respect to the undersigned?s holdings of and
transactions in securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked
by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing
attorneys-in-fact. This Power of Attorney revokes all previous powers of
attorney with respect to the subject matter of this Power of Attorney.


        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of
Attorney to be executed as of this 11 day of July, 2025.
