SolarReserve signed a supply contract for its 20 MW Acajutla PV solar power project in El Salvador after a highly competitive tendering process via the local electric distribution companies. This is the country’s first tender for utility-scale solar power, administered by Distribuidora de Electricidad del Sur (DELSUR) and overseen by El Salvador’s Electricity and Telecommunications regulatory body Superintendencia General de Electricidad y Telecomunicaciones (SIGET).
The Acajutla project is the first of several in SolarReserve’s pipeline of 800 MW of solar power projects in development in Latin America, which includes advanced CSP, PV technology, and hybrid (combined CSP and PV) solutions that can provide competitive 24-hour solar energy.
