The nation’s total installed power generation capacity now stands at 2.99 GW, with 638 MW from hydropower. Solar accounts for about 21.1% of the nation's electricity mix.

Renewable sources, including geothermal and biomass, make up 61.5% of the energy supply, while fossil fuel plants account for 38.6% of the energy fleet, according to SIGET.

El Salvador has mainly supported large-scale PV projects through auctions.
