_____________________________
(1)The summarized financial information of Uplight is not included in the table above for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as the equity method of accounting was suspended during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Uplight In March 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 25% ownership interest and convertible note in Uplight for up to $40 million, including $10 million at closing and up to an additional $30 million contingent upon specified events. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026. Uplight is reported in the New Energy Technologies SBU reportable segment.
Alto Maipo — The Company holds a 99% ownership interest in Alto Maipo SpA (“Alto Maipo”), a hydroelectric plant in Chile. In May 2022, Alto Maipo emerged from bankruptcy in accordance with Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Alto Maipo, as restructured, is considered a VIE. As the Company lacks the power to make significant decisions, it does not meet the criteria to be considered the primary beneficiary of Alto Maipo and therefore does not consolidate the entity. The Company has elected the fair value option to account for its investment in Alto Maipo as management believes this approach will better reflect the economics of its equity interest. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value is insignificant. Alto Maipo is reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
Barry — The Company holds a 100% ownership interest in AES Barry Ltd. ("Barry"), a dormant entity in the U.K. that disposed of its generation and other operating assets. Due to a debt agreement, no material financial or operating decisions can be made without the banks' consent, and the Company does not control Barry. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, other long-term liabilities included $43 million and $44 million, respectively, related to this debt agreement. Barry is reported in the Energy Infrastructure SBU reportable segment.
