From the coast of the western port of Acajutla, BW Tatiana ship can be seen anchored, a stalwart of this project that, as fully implemented, will supply 30% of national energy consumption.
Outlaying as much as $1 billion, the PPP is El Salvador´s largest investment, and for the moment overshadowed other energy megaprojects left behind.
According to official data, this new investment includes a generator with 19 natural gas internal combustion engines and a steam turbine, with a total capacity to generate 378 megawatts (MW).
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele paid a visit to the magaproject on Monday, assuring his administration undid blockades imposed by previous governments to this project.
