6 FAQs about [El Salvador peregium energy storage]
What is the energy supply in El Salvador?
In 2019, total energy supply in El Salvador reached around 156 600 TJ (see Figure 5). That year, the renewable energy source with the largest share as part of the primary energy supply was bioenergy (19.6%), followed by hydropower (3.5%), geothermal energy (3.4%), and solar energy (1.1%) (CNE, 2020).
What are thermal power plants used for in El Salvador?
Thermal power plants are at present used as a back-up for variable renewable energy (VRE) generation. Thermal electricity production in El Salvador is, however, sometimes costlier than importing electricity within the regional market, as will be presented in the section below.
Does El Salvador have a target for renewables in end-use sectors?
El Salvador does not currently have targets for renewables in end-use sectors, either. Establishing targets for renewable energy in transport, heating and cooling, agriculture and industry could contribute to a further scale-up of renewables in the country, and help achieve emissions reduction targets while creating new business opportunities.
How can El Salvador benefit from regional energy integration?
The plan should also consider the integration of renewable energy technologies for end uses in buildings, heat and transport, while establishing clear targets that contribute to the ongoing scale-up of renewables. El Salvador benefited greatly from regional energy integration and plays an active role in the MER.
Can public institutions support renewable projects in El Salvador?
While the low costs of finance from public institutions can certainly have a positive impact on the capital mix of renewable projects, limitations on the availability of such instruments must also take account of the volumes needed to realise El Salvador’s long-term deployment ambitions for renewables.
Where does El Salvador's energy come from?
Energy context The bulk of El Salvador’s primary energy comes from fossil fuels. As shown in Figure 4, the total energy supply sources since 2010 have mainly been oil derivatives, such as gasoline, diesel, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), kerosene and bunker fuel (CNE, 2020).
