December 2009, the Company entered into agreements to sell its interests in three generation businesses located in Pakistan and Oman, reported in the Asia Generation segment. The businesses, Lal Pir and Pak Gen, located in Pakistan, and Barka, located in Oman, will be sold to two separate buyers. The sales are expected to close in the first half of 2010. Upon completion of the transactions, the company will sell its 55% ownership in Lal Pir and Pak Gen, two oil-fired facilities with respective generation capacities of 362 MW and 365 MW. Further, the company will also sell its 35% ownership interest in Barka, a 456MW combined cycle gas facility and water desalination plant and its 100% ownership interest in two Barka related service companies. The Company will receive proceeds upon the closing of the two transactions of approximately $200 million before purchase price adjustments. The Company recognized an impairment after noncontrolling interests of $105 million against its share of Lal Pir and Pak Gen, which represents the net book value of the Company’s investment in Lal Pir and Pak Gen less the fair value. In December 2008, the Company reached an agreement to sell its 70% equity interest in Jiaozuo AES Wanfang Power Co., Ltd. (“Jiaozuo”), which is reported in the Asia Generation segment, for approximately $73 million net of any withholding taxes. The AES Board of Directors approved the sale of Jiaozuo which closed on December 15, 2008 and the Company recognized a gain on the sale of approximately $7 million. Goodwill of $4 million was written off in connection with the gain on sale. This gain is included in the 2008 gain (loss) from disposal of discontinued businesses line item on the consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2008. On February 22, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A., (“PDVSA”) to sell all of its shares of EDC, a distribution business reported in the Latin America Utilities segment, for $739 million, net of any withholding taxes. In addition, the agreement provided for the payment of a $120 million dividend in 2007 which was declared on March 1, 2007 payable to the EDC shareholders of record as of March 9, 2007. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company was the owner of 82.14% of the outstanding shares of EDC, and therefore, on May 31, 2007, received approximately $97 million in dividends (representing approximately $99 million in gross dividends offset by fees). The sale of EDC and the payment of the purchase price occurred on May 16, 2007. EDC is classified as “discontinued operations” and reflected as such on the face of the Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company recognized an impairment charge of approximately $638 million related to this sale. As a result of the final disposition of EDC in May 2007, the Company recognized an additional impairment charge of approximately $42 million, net of income and withholding taxes. The total impairment charge of $680 million represented the net book value of the Company’s investment in EDC less the selling price. The Company impaired the carrying value of EDC’s electric generation and distribution assets to their net realizable value. The impairment expense was included in the loss from disposal of discontinued businesses line item on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2007. In July 2007, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Central Valley, sold 100% of its indirect interest in two biomass fired power plants located in central California (the 50 MW Delano facility and the 25 MW Mendota facility) for $51 million. These facilities, along with an associated management company (together, the “Central Valley Businesses”) were included in the North America Generation segment. Central Valley is classified as “discontinued operations” in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of approximately $20 million net of income and withholding taxes.   Information for business components included in discontinued operations is as follows:

wholly-owned subsidiaries in Kazakhstan, AES Ekibastuz LLP (“Ekibastuz”) and Maikuben West LLP (“Maikuben”). These businesses are included in the Europe Generation segment. Total consideration for the transaction was approximately $1.1 billion with potential earn-out provisions up to an additional $381 million over a three-year period. These businesses generated total revenue of $114 million and $106 million, and net income (loss) of $61 million and $(35) million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, excluding intercompany transactions. The sale was completed on May 30, 2008. As a result of AES’s continuing involvement in the management and operations of the businesses after the sale was completed, their results of operations continued to be reflected as part of income from continuing operations for all periods presented. Revenue recognized subsequent to the sale represented the management fees earned for the Company’s continued management of the operations of the businesses. </div> 21.
