This Tuesday, September 29, the Minister of Popular Power for Electric Energy (MPPEE), Rolando Alcalá, reported that the Bolivarian Government is promoting alternative energy projects, such as the Machaco Photovoltaic Solar Park, which contemplates the incorporation of 50 MW to the National Electric System (SEN), to contribute to the electrical strengthening of the western region.

This was stated during a presentation to the country, of an assessment of the current situation of the SEN and the actions carried out by the sector's workforce, broadcast by Venezolana de Televisión.

The Sabana de Machango Photovoltaic Solar Park, located in the Valmore Rodríguez municipality of the state of Zulia, stands out as a key project to exploit the potential of the Lake's Eastern Shore.

This project is specifically designed to stabilize and strengthen electricity supply in the western region and the state of Zulia, one of the areas with the highest demand and vulnerability of the system.

The project works show an improvement of close to 70% in the execution and installation of its solar panels. Its formal entry into service is scheduled for next year.
