The power project, which began taking shape in 2013, is important for El Salvador because it offers cleaner energy production, replacing heavy fuel oil for power generation while offering flexibility the country needs to support the addition of more renewable energy resources to the national power grid.
El Salvador currently imports about one-quarter of the country's total electricity, making it the largest importer of electricity in Central America. Government officials have said the heavy reliance on imported power creates energy security risks, along with providing an economic challenge.
From there, the gas powers 19 internal combustion engines and waste heat feeds one steam turbine. Two 230-kV electric transmission lines, one of which connects to the Central American Electrical Interconnection System, provides added grid reliability to the region and opens further opportunities for renewable energy in El Salvador.
Despite the enormous challenges, including supply-chain disruptions, travel restrictions, airport closures, global financial volatility, and Salvadoran COVID-19 mitigation measures and regulations, the power plant began commercial operation in October 2022. EDP is a transformative investment in El Salvador's clean energy future.
EDP has also contributed to the creation of 150 artificial reefs to support biodiversity in the region as part of the project's environmental impact measures.

Invenergy served as lead developer of the EDP project with the support of El Salvador-based partners Grupo Calleja, VC Energy de Centroamerica and Quantum Energy. To construct the project, Invenergy worked with a consortium of global project partners including BW LNG, BW Offshore, SAAM Towage, Boskalis, Wärtsilä, Elecnor, and Shell.
In addition to meeting nearly one-third of El Salvador's energy demand, EDP is projected to help the country meet its climate goals by reducing carbon emissions by 600,000 tons annually. The project has also been a catalyst for job creation and growth in the country.
In total, the project represents an approximately $1 billion investment in El Salvador. At least $10 million will be invested in economic and social works during the term of the power purchase agreements, strengthening local communities with a more than $500,000 investment per year.

Let"s start with the basics: a 400MWh energy storage power station typically ranges between $120 million and $200 million, depending on the technology and regional factors. Additional storage technologies will be added as representative cost and performance metrics are verified. Capex of $125/kWh means a levelised cost of storage of $65/MWh 3. With a $65/MWh LCOS, shifting half of daily solar generation overnight adds just $33/MWh to the cost of solar This report provides the latest, real-world evidence on. The cost per MW of a BESS is set by a number of factors, including battery chemistry, installation complexity, balance of system (BOS) materials, and government incentives. Storage type is a primary determinant;. According to BloombergNEF's 2025 Energy Storage Systems Cost Survey, the global average turnkey BESS price dropped 31% year-over-year to approximately $117/kWh.

Commercial and industrial energy storage is becoming increasingly important in terms of electrical load balancing and regulation. These systems facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources, enabling a more sustainable energy strategy. Industrial Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are engineered solutions that capture electrical energy, store it, and release it on demand to serve commercial, industrial or grid-level needs.
A 60kWh (kilowatt-hour) battery refers to an energy storage unit capable of delivering 60 kilowatts of power over one hour. This measurement is commonly used in electric vehicles (EVs) and residential energy storage systems to quantify total usable energy capacity. Battery capacity is the total amount of energy an EV's battery can store, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Think of it as the size of the gas tank, but for electricity. It is a large home energy storage system designed for households that want longer backup time, higher solar self-consumption, stronger outage protection, or a more independent off-grid power setup. For some homes, 60kWh is oversized.
