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.
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.
EDP has also contributed to the creation of 150 artificial reefs to support biodiversity in the region as part of the project’s environmental impact measures. To learn more, please visit the Energia del Pacifico website. This facility brings critical energy infrastructure to El Salvador to meet the country’s energy demand.
A fire broke out at the Fenix battery recycling plant. The cause of fire is under investigation. A semi-trailer truck carrying lithium ion batteries was involved in a multi-vehicle highway crash, resulting in a fire. The level of contribution from the batteries to the fire is unknown.
For more information on energy storage safety, visit the Storage Safety Wiki Page. The BESS Failure Incident Database was initiated in 2021 as part of a wider suite of BESS safety research after the concentration of lithium ion BESS fires in South Korea and the Surprise, AZ, incident in the US.
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.
