Wind power is one of the most important and growing renewable sources for generating electric power. Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable technologies in the world. This is mainly because installation costs have been reduced significantly in the last two decades.
In Guatemala there are two regions with winds capable of producing wind energy: the region of the departments of Escuintla and Guatemala, around the Pacaya volcano, and the eastern part of the department of Jutiapa, on the border with El Salvador, so it is not by chance this is where the wind power plants are installed. The “Las Cumbres” plant, which has a capacity of 31.5 MW, and is located in the municipality of Agua Blanca, Jutiapa. The total installed capacity as a whole is 106.5 MW, with energy production in 2019 of 330 GWh, representing 2.47% of the total generation in that year.
