For additional assumptions see the Appendix to this presentation. 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’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including but not limited to the risks discussed under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006, as well as our other SEC filings.

Second Quarter 2007 Highlights

In comparison to Q2 2006, gross margin increased by $21 million to $888 million reflecting higher prices in New York and Latin America, favorable foreign currency trends and contributions from new businesses(2). These gains were partially offset by a cumulative charge of $48 million relating to transmission fees accumulated from 2004 through 2007 at Tiete in Brazil, increased purchased energy and fuel costs at Uruguaiana in Brazil and lower emission sales of $24 million.

In comparison to Q2 2006, IBT&MI increased by $338 million to $788 million, primarily due to:

- A non-cash gain of $137 million recorded in other income related to a previously disclosed acquisition of lessor interests, which is accounted for as a contract settlement in New York .

- A gain of $93 million recorded in other income due to a gross receipts tax recoveries of $93 million at two of its Latin American subsidiaries.

Operating cash flow increased by $84 million to $526 million This increase was primarily due to decreases in net working capital and the contributions from new businesses. Free cash flow (1) decreased by $43 million due to increased maintenance capital expenditures, including environmental projects at IPL in Indiana and Kilroot in Northern Ireland.

(1) Adjusted earnings per share (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding gains or losses associated with (a) mark to market amounts related to FAS 133 derivative transactions, (b) foreign currency transaction impacts on the net monetary position related to Brazil and Argentina, (c) significant asset gains or losses due to disposition transactions and impairments, and (d) costs related to early retirement of recourse debt. AES believes that adjusted earnings per share better reflects the underlying business performance of the Company, and is considered in the Company’s internal evaluation of financial performance. Factors in this determination include the variability associated with mark-to-market gains or losses related to certain derivative transactions, currency transaction gains or losses, periodic strategic decisions to dispose of certain assets which may influence results in a given period, and the early retirement of corporate debt.

Second Quarter 2007 Financial Review

Gross margin increase reflects higher prices in New York and Latin America, favorable foreign currency trends and contributions from new businesses, partially offset by a $48 cumulative charge related to transmission costs in Brazil and lower emission sales of $24 million compared to 2Q 2006. Higher Taxes reflect appreciation of the Brazilian real at certain of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries which increased the 2007 effective tax rate and the release of a valuation allowance at Eletropaulo in Brazil in the second quarter of 2006 which reduced the 2006 effective tax rate.Higher minority interest due to lower ownership of Eletropaulo in Brazil.

Change Segment HighlightsLatin America Generation revenue increased by $203 million to $823 million, primarily due to higher contract and spot prices at Gener in Chile, higher intercompany sales at Tiete in Brazil and the consolidation of Itabo in the Dominican Republic

Gross margin remained flat at Gener, primarily due to higher fuel costs. Total gross margin decreased by $55 million to $200 million, primarily due to a cumulative charge of $48 million at Tiete in Brazil and increased purchased electricity and fuel costs at Uruguaiana in Brazil.

IBT&MI increased by $90 million primarily due to a recovery of $93 million relating to gross receipts tax recoveries and the reduction of interest expense offset by the decrease in gross margin.

Page 22: AES 2Q07 Review

Second Quarter 2007 Financial Review

Assumptions

Forecasted financial information is based on certain material assumptions. Such assumptions include, but are not limited to: (a) no unforeseen external events such as wars, depressions, or economic or political disruptions occur; (b) businesses continue to operate in a manner consistent with or better than prior operating performance, including achievement of planned productivity improvements including benefits of global sourcing, and in accordance with the provisions of their relevant contracts or concessions; (c) new business opportunities are available to AES in sufficient quantity to achieve its growth objectives; (d) no material disruptions or discontinuities occur in GDP, foreign exchange rates, inflation or interest rates during the forecast period; and (e) material business-specific risks as described in the Company’s SEC filings do not occur individually or cumulatively. In addition, benefits from global sourcing include avoided costs, reduction in capital project costs versus budgetary estimates, and projected savings based on assumed spend volume which may or may not actually be achieved. Also, improvement in certain KPIs such as equivalent forced outage rate and commercial availability may not improve financial performance at all facilities based on commercial terms and conditions. These benefits will not be fully reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial results.

The cash held at qualifying holding companies (QHCs) represents cash sent to subsidiaries of the Company domiciled outside of the U.S. Such subsidiaries had no contractual restrictions on their ability to send cash to AES, the Parent Company. Cash at those subsidiaries was used for investment and related activities outside of the U.S. These investments included equity investments and loans to other foreign subsidiaries as well as development and general costs and expenses incurred outside the U.S. Since the cash held by these QHCsis available to the Parent, AES uses the combined measure of subsidiary distributions to Parent and QHCs as a useful measure of cash available to the Parent to meet its international liquidity needs. AES believes that unconsolidated parent company liquidity is important to the liquidity position of AES as a parent company because of the non-recourse nature of most of AES’s indebtedness.

Adjusted earnings per share – Defined as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding gains or losses associated with (a) mark-to-market amounts related to FAS 133 derivative transactions, (b) foreign currency transaction impacts on the net monetary position related to Brazil and Argentina, (c) significant asset gains or losses due to disposition transactions and impairments, and (d) early retirement of recourse debt. AES believes that adjusted earnings per share better reflects the underlying business performance of the Company, and is considered in the Company’s internal evaluation of financial performance. Factors in this determination include the variability associated with mark-to-market gains or losses related to certain derivative transactions, currency gains and losses, periodic strategic decisions to dispose of certain assets which may influence results in a given period, and the early retirement of corporate debt.

Free cash flow – Defined as net cash flow from operating activities less maintenance capital expenditures. Maintenance capital expenditures reflect property additions less growth capital expenditures. AES believes that free cash flow is a useful measure for evaluating our financial condition because it represents the amount of cash provided by operations less maintenance capital expenditures as defined by our businesses, that may be available for investing or for repaying debt.

Liquidity – Defined as cash at the parent company plus availability under corporate revolver plus cash at qualifying holding companies (QHCs). AES believes that unconsolidated parent company liquidity is important to the liquidity position of AES as a parent company because of the non-recourse nature of most of AES’s indebtedness.

Subsidiary distributions – Defined as cash distributions (primarily dividends and interest income) from subsidiary companies to the parent company and qualified holding companies. AES believes subsidiary distributions are an important measure, as these cash flows are the source of cash flow to the parent to meet corporate interest, overhead, cash taxes, and discretionary uses such as recourse debt reductions and corporate investments.
