Description
Description | The GT Acajutla generation plant is located close to the port of Acajutla, approximately 85-km west of San Salvador and 60-km south of Santa Ana and consists of two bunker-fired steam units and three diesel fired gas turbines. On July 30, 1999 Comision Ejecutiva Hidroelectrica del Rio Lempa (CEL) sold 80% of its shares to Duke Energy International for $124 million. The financial closure was reached on Sept. 3, 1999. The main competitors are: Division Generadora Hidroelectrica de CEL (388-MW), Geotermica Salvadorena (151-MW), Generadora Salvadorena (87.4-MW) and several small generators (50-MW). Duke Energy will invest $75-million in the modernization of this company which will add approximately 100-MW of combined-cycle electric generation. In Nov. 2000, Duke Energy completed the expansion of the power plant, which brought the total capacity to 290 MW.
