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.
