This state-of-the-art equipment is the first of its kind in Guatemala and is operating in the Chiantla and Covadonga substations, located in the western side of the country.
We transport development and improve lives with sustainable and competitive energy.
The expansion of the La Vega II Substation was carried out as a self-initiated project aimed at increasing the operational capacity of the transmission system. This project enabled the activation of the second circuit of the Aguacapa–La Vega II transmission line, enhancing service reliability and reducing potential bottlenecks in energy flow. The expansion reinforces a key part of the National Interconnected System (SNI), improving the stability and continuity of electricity supply in the region.
Status: In commercial operation since 2019.
