Opponents Of The AES Deal Are Fighting The Wrong Battle

Forbes · 2 Aug 2026positive

The Private Equity Stakeholder Project, joined by Public Citizen and Citizens Action Coalition Indiana, petitioned the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Docket EC26-99) to block AES Corporation's $33.4 billion acquisition by Global Infrastructure Partners and EQT, or to force owner BlackRock to divest utility holdings as a condition of approval. The Forbes article characterizes this as a familiar stop-the-deal campaign fighting the wrong battle.

Why it matters — AES watchers would care because regulatory opposition to the pending $33.4 billion acquisition could affect the deal's outcome and AES's future ownership structure.
