AES Corporation Announces Material Impairment Charge for Maritza Power Plant
Summary
The AES Corporation announced a pre-tax impairment charge in the range of $250 million to $325 million for its Maritza power plant in Bulgaria. This charge, to be recognized as of December 31, 2025, is due to the plant's Power Purchase Agreement expiring in May 2026 and the decision not to invest in a conversion to an alternative fuel source. The impairment charge reflects a reduction in the asset's useful life and carrying value, as per U.S. GAAP, and does not affect the plant's performance under its current PPA through May 2026.
