U.S. Climate Finance

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) funding of almost $800,000 is supporting the Ilopango-Aguacayo Hydropower Feasibility Study for the development of a 17 MW hydropower facility on Lake Ilopango in El Salvador. The project will provide a reliable supply of renewable energy, while at the same time helping to control periodic flooding of the lake's surrounding areas. The Ilopango- Aguacayo hydropower project is a high priority project that would support the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas and the Partnership for Growth initiative with El Salvador.
