Likewise, in social networks, the institution informed that it continues to comply with the Biennial Maintenance Program 2024, in the Central Hidroeléctrica 5 de Noviembre.

The purpose of this is to optimize the performance and reliability of the facilities to ensure a safe and sustainable electricity supply.

Taking advantage of the dry season, preventive maintenance is being performed on the mechanical, electrical and structural components of unit number 2, which includes a detailed inspection of the turbine, generator, speed regulator, rotor, stator, generator shaft, fire protection system and intake.
