D-Lab Energy Needs Assessment in El Salvador with ASAPROSAR

While most of El Salvador has reliable electricity access, there is little prospect of the national electric grid being extended to El Sauce. The goal of this trip was to identify specific energy needs in the community, technologies to meet these needs, and practical approaches to distribute energy technologies in the community.

Latin America''s bright future for off-grid solutions

The region has three major areas that largely remain off-grid. Firstly there are significant parts of northern Central America – Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua, and some of southern Mexico that are without grid-connection. Then there''s the Andean region, comprising parts of Peru, Bolivia, Colombia and Ecuador.

AES: Powering the Islands of El Salvador with Solar-Plus-Storage

The main goals of the Meanguera del Golfo project were to improve the reliability and resilience of the local electricity grid for hard-to-reach island communities through innovative clean energy solutions. Previously, the region relied on a single undersea cable from the mainland of El Salvador for its power supply.
