With the introduction of new, cleaner energy generation, EDP will bring significant environmental benefits for the country and region, reducing carbon emissions by 600,000 tons/year and virtually eliminating emissions of the nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and particulate pollutants associated with burning heavy fuel oils.
Through a compensation agreement with the Fondo de Inversión Ambiental de El Salvador (FIAES), EDP invests in the conservation of two important ecosystems in El Salvador: Los Cóbanos Conservation Area (Área de Conservación Los Cóbanos) and The Apaneca-Ilamatepec Biosphere Reserve (Reserva de Biosfera Apaneca-Ilamatepec). EDP’s investment supports the following projects which will directly contribute to the environmental, social and cultural well-being of 2,650 Salvadorans.
