AES CAESS invests US $1 million to optimize energy service in San Salvador
September 20, 2024
In recent years, AES El Salvador has intensified its efforts to modernize the country's electrical infrastructure by implementing advanced technologies and innovative solutions that improve energy efficiency and reduce service interruptions.
To meet the growing demand for electricity in one of the most densely populated areas of the country, AES CAESS has invested more than US $1 million in a power grid interconnection project. This initiative aims to ensure the security and continuity of energy supply to more than seven thousand customers in San Salvador.
AES emphasizes that this investment in electrical infrastructure not only guarantees a more reliable service, but also strengthens its electrical distribution network in the area thanks to the installation of this new infrastructure.
The interconnection project included the installation and modification of more than 19 kilometers of distribution lines, 210 poles and the remodeling of three substations: “El Volcán”, “San Antonio Abad” and “Nuevo Cuscatlán”.
Daniel Bernardez, AES El Salvador’s VP of Operations, highlighted that this project aligns with the company's investment plan, saying, “We are constantly modernizing our electricity distribution networks to improve the service we provide. We have a commitment to the country's development; therefore, in 2024 we have projected an investment of more than US $41 million in projects to improve and expand the distribution network and another US $17 million in digitalization, technology, and automation of our entire operation.”
Interconnections play a crucial role in the integration of the national electricity system, driving economic and social development. For this reason, AES works closely with other institutions in the electricity sector to strengthen the Salvadoran electricity system and accelerate the future of energy.
