In the energy domain, there are many different units thrown around – joules, exajoules, million tonnes of oil equivalents, barrel equivalents, British thermal units, terawatt-hours, to name a few. This can be confusing, and make comparisons difficult. El Salvador: Energy intensity: how much energy does it use per unit of GDP?
The size and type of the plant needed to meet El Salvador''s energy demands are still under consideration. Despite questions from Congresswoman Claudia Ortiz (Vamos), Álvarez could not provide precise figures on the state''s investment over the seven-year plan. and their components can be transported as a single unit for installation
The power project, which began taking shape in 2013, is important for El Salvador because it offers cleaner energy production, replacing heavy fuel oil for power generation while offering flexibility the country needs to support the addition of more renewable energy resources to the national power grid.
From there, the gas powers 19 internal combustion engines and waste heat feeds one steam turbine. Two 230-kV electric transmission lines, one of which connects to the Central American Electrical Interconnection System, provides added grid reliability to the region and opens further opportunities for renewable energy in El Salvador.
El Salvador currently imports about one-quarter of the country’s total electricity, making it the largest importer of electricity in Central America. Government officials have said the heavy reliance on imported power creates energy security risks, along with providing an economic challenge.
EDP will introduce a new source of thermal generation to El Salvador through power purchase agreements with seven of the country’s distribution companies.
As the smallest country in Central America, El Salvador relies heavily on imported Heavy Fuel Oil-fired generators for its dispatched power. Our Project is expected to be the lowest cost thermal generator in the country, and it aims to supply 30% of the county’s total demand and significantly reduces its energy imports from 25% to about 5% in 2023.
In total, the project represents an approximately $1 billion investment in El Salvador. At least $10 million will be invested in economic and social works during the term of the power purchase agreements, strengthening local communities with a more than $500,000 investment per year.
