As part of the plans to strengthen the country's energy infrastructure, the workforce of the National Electric Corporation (CORPOELEC) successfully carried out rehabilitation, adaptation and major maintenance maneuvers in Unit No. 2 of the San Agatón Hydroelectric Power Plant, located in the state of Táchira.
With the start of operation of this machine, an additional 150 megawatts (MW) are added to the National Electric System (SEN), which makes it possible to stabilize and optimize the supply of electrical energy in the states of southwestern Venezuela.
The operational reestablishment of Unit 2 represents a significant improvement in the quality of life and in the continuity of electricity service for more than 100,000 families.
In addition, the increase in energy availability will provide decisive support to the commercial, agricultural and industrial sectors of the southwestern region.
The tasks carried out by CORPOELEC's specialized technical staff are part of the priority actions to ensure operational sustainability, the efficiency of the country's hydroelectric sources and regional economic development.
