El Salvador container power generation equipment manufacturer

By shifting a significant amount of power supply to natural gas, EDP reduces El Salvador's reliance on diesel and heavy fuel oil-fired power generation, offsetting 600,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, and provides grid support to facilitate more renewable energy penetration, further diversifying the country's energy mix.

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.

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.

The more than $1 billion transformative infrastructure project, the largest-ever private investment in El Salvador, was financed by leading global financial institutions U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, International Finance Corporation, IDB Invest, Finnish Export Credit Ltd and KfW IPEX-Bank.

BW LNG will provide management oversight during conversion and operation. As the smallest country in Central America, El Salvador relies heavily on imported Heavy Fuel Oil-fired generators for its dispatched power.

The transformative infrastructure project brings approximately $1 billion foreign direct investment for El Salvador. U.S.-based Invenergy is the majority shareholder of EDP and has led the development of the project in partnership with El-Salvador based partners Grupo Calleja, VC Energy de Centroamerica and Quantum Energy.
