AES announces pre-tax impairment charge on Bulgarian Maritza power plant
AES
Accounting Changes
  • In Q4 2025, AES identified an impairment indicator for its Maritza plant in Bulgaria due to the PPA expiring May 2026 and the decision not to invest in fuel conversion, resulting in a reduction of the asset’s useful life and a determination that its carrying value was not recoverable .
  • AES concluded that a pre-tax impairment charge of $250 million to $325 million is required as of December 31, 2025, under GAAP; this charge reflects limited future use post-PPA and is not expected to impact cash flows under the current PPA through May 2026 .
  • Management expects to finalize the impairment charge and assess its impact on income tax expense with the submission of its Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025 .

AES sued alleging scheme to monopolize Panama LNG-to-power market
AES
Legal Proceedings
  • Sinolam LNG Terminal and Sinolam Smarter Energy filed a civil action in Arlington, VA, accusing AES and partners (including InterEnergy) of a years-long conspiracy to exclude them from Panama’s LNG-to-power market through coercion, misuse of confidential information, and improper influence over regulators.
  • The complaint alleges InterEnergy, after accessing Sinolam’s confidential data, joined AES in a joint venture that displaced Sinolam and its customers, destroying billions in expected value.
  • Sinolam seeks compensatory damages in excess of $4 billion and other relief for claims including tortious interference and conspiracy under Virginia law.
  • The lawsuit claims AES leveraged political ties in Panama to fast-track approvals for its projects, revoke Sinolam’s licenses, and secure monopoly control over LNG importation, storage, regasification, and LNG-fueled power generation in Panama.
