The Comisión Ejecutiva Hidroeléctrica del Rio Lempa (CEL) continues to perform biennial maintenance at the Central Hidroeléctrica 5 de Noviembre located between the departments of Cabañas and Chalatenango, to ensure an efficient and sustainable energy supply.

This maintenance, which is part of an investment planned for this year with a budget of US$3 million, demonstrates our commitment to operational excellence and continuity in energy supply. We are taking advantage of the dry season to maximize the efficiency of our operations and ensure optimal service for more than two million users and customers.
