AES El Salvador, through its distribution company AES CAESS, reported that during 2025 it invested US$588,000 in various electrical projects in the department of Chalatenango, with the purpose of guaranteeing a more consistent, reliable, and secure supply for more than 100,000 customers in the area.
The company explained that the work focused on the districts of San Ignacio, Santa Rita, El Paraíso, and Chalatenango, with strategic actions that include the construction of new interconnection circuits between distribution substations, the normalization of third-party lines (NLT), comprehensive network maintenance, and the replacement of meters.
According to AES CAESS, this work will allow for greater reliability in the energy supply by reducing the risk of interruptions and offering backup alternatives in case of emergencies. In addition, the modernization efforts seek to address the growing energy demand in the department and strengthen coverage in urban and rural areas.
The distributor emphasized that these investments respond to its commitment to promote local economic development through more robust electrical infrastructure, capable of guaranteeing continuity of service to families, businesses, and industries in Chalatenango.
Maintenance work during winter
With the aim of preventing service interruptions during the rainy season, AES CAESS allocated an additional US$13,000 to maintenance and optimization projects for the electrical network in the districts of Nueva Concepción and Agua Caliente.
The technical crews carried out cleaning and improvement work on different sections of the network. At the same time, specialized arboricultural technicians carried out preventive pruning on 10 kilometers of electrical wiring to prevent branches and trees from causing failures during storms or strong winds.
The company explained that this work not only contributes to the security of the supply but is also developed with sustainable practices to preserve the tree vegetation in the area.
With these actions, AES CAESS reaffirms its commitment to continue investing in Chalatenango and throughout El Salvador, with projects aimed at offering a modern, safe, and environmentally responsible electrical service that supports the growth and well-being of communities.
