acquired the Chilean-based subsidiary Gener in 2000. AES acquired DPL Inc., then known as Dayton Power & Light, in 2011. The company was rebranded as AES Ohio in February, 2021. In fiscal 2015 AES's total revenue was $15 billion. In 2018, AES acquired the subsidiary sPower. In December, 2021, AES acquired Community Energy Solar (Community Energy) to help deliver 4 GW of renewables in the US. Major projects Fluence Launched during January 2018, Fluence is a joint venture between AES Energy Storage and Siemens that is focused on the development of, and expansion of energy storage technologies and services. Chaired by former AES vice-president for energy storage platforms Stephen Coughlin, and headquartered in Washington D.C., Fluence aims to implement AES's extensive research into the potential of lithium-ion powered energy sources by relying upon Siemens' expansive global presence in the industrial sector; for the purpose of addressing the rapidly rising demand for clean energy technologies. Fluence has been deployed in 16 countries, with major projects including the following: The creation of a new 40 megawatt storage facility on behalf of San Diego Gas & Electric's new 40 MW storage facility. Three solar powered projects throughout Arizona and two 10 MW projects in the Dominican Republic. The installation of six storage projects across Germany that will provide grid stabilization. The construction of a hybrid microgrid on the Mediterranean Island of Ventotene. Said microgrid will be developed as per an agreement between Fluence and the Italian energy utility Enel, and will combine diesel generators with renewables in order to aid in the efforts to reduce carbon costs and emissions. The key technology platforms developed by Fluence include the following. Key Fluence technologies Fluence is expected to employ three different types of grid technology. WP:Crystal i):SIESTORAGE: An electrical energy storage system fueled predominantly by wind and solar energy. Siestorage relies upon the closed-loop controls and pulse modulation built into its semiconductors, in order to provide consumers with increased dependability. ii):Advancion: A storage system that is made up of several small, modular nodes and powered by Lithium ion batteries, which enables the Advancion energy store system to provide consumers with a heightened degree of consistency in performance. iii): Sunflux Energy: Announced in January 2018, Sunflex was developed for the purpose of expanding upon the possibilities offered by photovoltaic solar energy. This technology is built to capture energy during peak solar hours in order to expand
