Get a quoteA project utilizing liquefied natural gas (LNG) is supporting power generation in El Salvador and playing a major role in the country’s energy transformation. An energy project in El Salvador has been called transformative for the Central American country, which has long relied on hydro and geothermal resources to support its power generation.
Located in the Municipality of Acajutla, Sonsonate, the 378-megawatt project is an LNG-to-power facility that will supply approximately 30% of the energy demand of El Salvador and contribute to the diversification of the country’s energy mix through new clean energy generation and reduced reliance on heavy fuel oil and imported diesel.
Despite the enormous challenges, including supply-chain disruptions, travel restrictions, airport closures, global financial volatility, and Salvadoran COVID-19 mitigation measures and regulations, the power plant began commercial operation in October 2022. EDP is a transformative investment in El Salvador’s clean energy future.
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.
Currently (November 2007), there are three registered CDM projects in the electricity sector in El Salvador, with overall estimated emission reductions of 385,553 tCO 2 e per year. One of the projects is a landfill gas project, another one a bagasse cogeneration project and the third one a geothermal plant project.
Invenergy officials said the use of LNG at the power plant has reduced emissions of carbon dioxide by 600,000 tons annually compared to burning fuel oil. The power plant also has reduced El Salvador’s dependency on energy imports from neighboring countries.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years.
