AES El Salvador strengthens its commitment to female leadership in the energy sector
April 14, 2026
Just days ahead of the 2026 Female Leadership Forum organized by Asociación Salvadoreña de Industriales (ASI), AES El Salvador reaffirms its commitment to women's inclusion in the energy sector, highlighting concrete results that demonstrate the impact of its programs over the years.
As part of its strategic vision, the company has driven initiatives aimed at transforming a traditionally male-dominated industry by promoting increasingly active, technical, and competitive female participation. This approach is not merely a response to global trends but stems from an institutional conviction: to promote real opportunities for the economic development of Salvadoran women.
One of the primary drivers of this commitment is the AES Mujer program, a platform that combines specialized technical training with entrepreneurship skill-building. Through this program, more than one thousand women have been trained and certified as third- and fourth-category electricians, allowing them to enter the labor market with solid training and practical knowledge.
The program's impact extends beyond education. Many participants have successfully launched and consolidated their own businesses, generating sustainable income and contributing to the well-being of their families and communities. In this way, AES El Salvador promotes a model of productive inclusion that fosters economic autonomy and female leadership in a key sector for the country’s development.
Miguel Campos, Vice President of Commercial and Generation at AES El Salvador, emphasized that these results are part of a long-term vision. "Our goal has been clear from the start: it’s not just about opening up spaces, but about providing the necessary tools so that women can grow, make decisions, and become protagonists of economic growth," he stated.
Furthermore, the executive underlined that closing gender gaps involves creating real access to opportunities and investing in talent development with a tangible impact. In this regard, AES has demonstrated that technical training, combined with innovation and entrepreneurship programs, can transform lives and boost local economies.
As this important forum on female leadership approaches, AES El Salvador positions itself as a leading advocate for gender equity within the energy sector, consolidating a track record built on results, social impact, and a sustainable vision.
