The construction is underway on a 70 MW solar project in Nicaragua.
The Enesolar-3 Solar Facility, located in the city of Nindirí in the Masaya Ministerie of West-Nicaragua, will be the largest solar installation in the country to date.
An inauguration ceremony for the project, led by China Communications Construction, took place earlier this month. The construction is expected to take approximately 18 months.
Once operational, it will supply electricity to the water use of Nicaragua, Enacal, which generates sufficient electricity to cover around 40% of its annual consumption and to support improved delivery and sanitary facilities of water services.
The ENESOLAR-3 project, approved last year and supported earlier this year by Chinese public financing, is one of the three sun factories that China Communications Construction is building in Nicaragua. Together the projects will have a combined capacity of almost 200 MW.
During the inauguration ceremony, the President of the Company, Gan Xingqiu, said that the 61 MW Enesolar AP-As 1 project in San Isidro enters its last construction phase, while the 67 MW El HATO project in Ciudad Darío is currently being developed.
Nicaragua had installed 36 MW Zonne -Zonne energy at the end of 2024, an increase of 18 MW a year earlier, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena).
