In El Salvador during 2021, AES announced that it plans to invest between $60 and $75 million in the development of new solar energy projects and works in the distribution network.
As of April 2021, the Ventus wind power plant, an electricity generation park with an installed capacity of 54 MW, will begin operating in El Salvador.
The new power generation park, which has 15 wind turbines of 120 meters high each, is located in the municipality of Metapan, Department of Santa Ana.
A solar energy generation park is to be built in the department of Jutiapa, Guatemala, which will have approximately 274 thousand panels and will be located on a 127-hectare plot of land.
According to the interactive platform "Construction in Central America" of CentralAmericaData's Business Intelligence area, Solar El Progreso S.A., submitted to the Ministry of Environment the Environmental Impact Study (EIA) to develop the project called "Solar Santo Tomas".
In El Salvador, the initial plan was that the new Energia del Pacifico power plant would begin operations in early 2022; however, it is currently projected to begin operations until July 1 of next year.
The project located in the Acajutla port area, which will have an installed capacity of 378 megawatts and began construction in 2015, will be delayed a few months.

Mainly determined by the performance of the energy supply from thermal sources, between January and November 2018 and the same period in 2019, electricity generation in Panama grew by 3%.
According to the most recent report of the General Comptroller of Panama, 10,173 million kWh were generated in the first eleven months of 2019, which is equivalent to a 3% increase over the 9,877 million kWh offered in the same period in 2018.
Partly determined by the behavior of the energy supply from thermal sources, between January and October 2018 and the same period in 2019 the electricity generation in Panama grew 120%.
According to the latest report of the General Comptroller's Office of Panama, in the first ten months of 2019 9,253 million kWh were generated, which is equivalent to an increase of 3% with respect to the 8,990 million offered in the same period of 2018.
Between January and August 2018 and the same period in 2019, electricity generation from hydraulic sources in Panama decreased by 40%.
According to the latest report of the General Comptroller's Office of Panama, in the first eight months of 2019 7,436 million kWh were generated, which is equivalent to a 3.3% increase over the 7,200 million offered in the same period of 2018.
Because both participating companies did not comply with the specifications, in Guatemala the bidders were disqualified in the photovoltaic solar energy tender.

Arguing that there is a simulation in the contract to supply photovoltaic solar energy, in Guatemala a group of deputies criminally denounced the officials who approved the bases.
The complaint against officials of the National Institute of Electrification (Inde) that approved the bases for the tender and other processes of the tender for the purchase of solar energy for 110 MW, was filed by the bench of deputies of Encuentro por Guatemala (EG).
Total Eren Guatemala, S.A. and Corporación Klondike, S.A., presented their bids in Guatemala for the supply of electricity generated by photovoltaic solar systems, up to a maximum of 110 MW under the BOT modality.
On July 31, the National Institute of Electrification received bids for the public tender, which includes the installation of five solar power generators through the photovoltaic system for 110 megawatts.
Because of the lack of rain, during the first half of the year Guatemala reported a 27% drop in power generation with water compared to the same period in 2018, a situation that could put even more pressure on market prices.
According to directors of the Association of Renewable Energy Generators (Ager), just in June 2019, the fall in generation by hydroelectric was 40% over the same month in 2018.
