At the project’s inauguration ceremony, Enacal’s executive president, Ervin Barreda, noted that the facility has a generation capacity of 61.42 megawatts that is a strategic project to strengthen the sustainability of drinking water and sanitation services in the country.

  The plant will generate approximately 139,823 megawatt-hours annually, equivalent to more than a third of the energy consumption required by Enacal’s pumping systems.

  “This type of project is strategically important to guarantee the sustainability of water and sanitation services, both current and future, for the benefit of Nicaraguan families,” he stated.

  He added that, during the construction phase, Enesolar 1 generated more than a thousand local jobs, allowing numerous young people in the area to gain experience and training in the renewable energy industry.

  The representative of the Chinese company thanked Nicaragua for its support during the project’s execution and added that they are currently building the El Hato solar plant and Enesolar 3 simultaneously, which will add up to an installed capacity of nearly 200 megawatts, contributing to increased clean energy generation in the country.
