More than half of the country’s energy comes from renewables, with geothermal power installed capacity. El Salvador is home to 23 active volcanoes with more than 200 megawatts (MW).

Reports suggest that El Salvador’s geothermal power potential is close to 644 MW, meaning that LaGeo is currently harnessing about 31% of its existing electricity.
