The growing heat wave affecting El Salvador in recent weeks has led to a significant increase in electricity consumption, especially in the northern part of the country, where the intensive use of fans, refrigeration, and air conditioning systems has strained the energy infrastructure.
In response to this situation, AES CAESS announced the installation of a new transformer in the Tejutla area, Chalatenango department, as part of strategic investments aimed at strengthening the capacity and stability of the electrical system in the central region of the country.
The project will directly benefit more than 30,000 customers in the municipalities of Tejutla, El Paraíso, Aguilares, Nueva Concepción, Agua Caliente, La Reina, La Palma, and San Ignacio, communities that have experienced sustained growth in energy demand due to the weather conditions and the economic development of the area.
Among the project’s main benefits are the reduction of power outages and voltage fluctuations, as well as the strengthening of a more robust infrastructure better prepared to support the social, commercial, tourism, and productive growth of the Chalatenango Central and Northern districts.
According to the company, the new transformer will expand energy transformation capacity in the north of the country, improving the continuity and stability of the electrical service, especially during periods of high demand due to extreme temperatures.
With this initiative, AES CAESS reaffirms its commitment to modernizing and expanding the national electricity grid, promoting solutions that respond promptly to the energy challenges arising from climate change and the sustained increase in electricity consumption.
