AES CAESS optimizes power grid in Soyapango and Apopa

August 29, 2025

Among the activities carried out, highlights include the pruning of 16 kilometers of urban trees to clear power lines and prevent outages caused by branches coming into contact with the wiring.

AES El Salvador, through AES CAESS, carried out important maintenance work on the power grid in Soyapango and Apopa, benefiting more than 15,000 customers in different neighborhoods of the municipality.

The neighborhoods served include Las Brisas, Santa María, Credisa, Las Margaritas, Brisas del Sur, Buena Vista, California, San Rafael, Bosques de la Paz, and Bosques de Prusia. This work is part of the company's strategic actions to guarantee a safe, continuous, and quality electricity supply for Salvadorans.

This measure not only improves service continuity but also contributes to community safety, especially during seasons of rain and strong winds.

In addition, insulation was replaced, lines were repaired, poles were substituted, and electrical circuits were standardized, with the participation of more than 50 specialized employees.

"With these actions, we seek to reduce the risk of grid failures and prevent incidents that could leave users without power. Our commitment is to continue working to strengthen the country's electrical infrastructure," said René Nuñez, Construction and Maintenance Supervisor at AES CAESS.

This work is part of the permanent preventive maintenance plan that AES El Salvador implements throughout the national territory to ensure that homes and businesses have a continuous and reliable supply.

The company works to keep energy flowing, thereby boosting the economic and social development of the communities, businesses, and industries in two important districts in the country's capital.
