Originally from Venezuela, Gluski joined AES in 2000 and became its president and CEO in 2011. A Fortune 500 global electric utility that generates and distributes power in 15 countries, AES is one of the world’s largest electric utilities. In fiscal year 2023, AES reported $12.6 billion in revenue, with $44 billion in assets. In a press release, Gluski stated, “2023 was AES’ best year ever in terms of both execution and financial performance.”
Gluski has pushed for solar farms and, in 2021, announced that AES plans to reach net-zero carbon emissions from electricity generation by 2040. In 2018, AES and Siemens Energy launched Fluence Energy, which focuses on the development and expansion of energy storage technologies.
Gluski holds master’s and doctorate degrees in economics from the University of Virginia. He also serves as chairman of the Council of the Americas and is on the boards of Waste Management and the US-Brazil CEO Forum.
In June, Gluski made headlines when he said the excitement over using nuclear energy as a power source for data centers was “overblown” and renewable energy is the way of the future.
