CEL and DGEHM carry out mapping to complete 100% of national energy coverage

The Comisión Ejecutiva Hidroeléctrica del Río Lempa (CEL), together with the Dirección General de Energía, Hidrocarburos y Minas (DGEHM), will soon launch the Universal Electricity Access Program in El Salvador, which will bring electricity to communities that have never had it.

Through a modern geographic information system, they will identify the areas that currently do not have electricity.

Together with the Distribuidora Eléctrica Cuscatlán (DEC) team, we began the verification and validation phase of the homes and number of families that do not have the resource.

In addition, CEL has identified areas where they can extend the national power grid or look for other local renewable generation alternatives so that Salvadorans have 24/7 electricity.

The autonomous company's mission is for 100% of the country to have electricity.
