Shares of AES rose after the company said it is part of two Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs that are set to receive up to $2.4 billion in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The shares were up 4.1% Monday at $13.70.
On Friday, the utility and power-generation company said it would participate in the development and scaling of a California renewable clean hydrogen energy systems hub that was allocated up to $1.2 billion and the HyVelocity hub in the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana set to receive up to $1.2 billion.
Through those hubs, AES expects to secure funding for new hydrogen projects, which it will own and operate in those regions, along with associated renewables, the company said.
