El Salvador

Bósforo is one of the first PV solar projects of its scale in El Salvador. The different plants will be directly connected to regional distribution networks across the country. As such, it is an example of distributed generation in which energy is generated locally for local use and efficiency is improved by eliminating transmission losses. The generated electricity will be sold through 25 years Power Purchase Agreements to four different Distribution Companies.

Development impacts

Access to basic services & goods
The plant will provide over 200 GWh/year of renewable energy ensuring enough electricity for 186,042 people.
Fight against climate change and preservation of natural resources
Bósforo avoids local emissions usually attached to conventional energy, saving up to 91,400 tonnes of CO2eq/year.
