The project, slated for completion in 2025, marks a significant milestone in Guatemala's energy landscape as it introduces the country's first mid-scale power plant operating on natural gas.
Guatemala has 69 utility-scale power plants in operation, with a total capacity of 3421.5 MW. This data is a derivitive set of data gathered by source mentioned below. Global Energy Observatory/Google/KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm/Enipedia/World Resources Institute/database.earth
In a pioneering move for the region, the power plant will utilize locally produced natural gas. This departure from imported coal, diesel, or heavy fuel oil commonly used in Guatemala underscores the commitment to environmental sustainability.
According to the International Hydropower Association (IHA)'s 2017 report on global hydropower status, Guatemala ranks 20th worldwide in the new hydropower installed during 2016 with 163MW capacity added that year . Also the country ranks 6th in the Northern and Central America region with total installed power approximately 1154MW .
