Bukele seeks to bring nuclear energy to El Salvador. The Government of Nayib Bukele has already delivered the documentation required by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
If the process is completed, El Salvador would be the first country in Central America with nuclear energy. To date, more than 68% of national consumption comes from renewable generation, according to the Government itself. “El Salvador is committed to decarbonization, diversifying its energy matrix and benefiting from peaceful nuclear applications,” said Rafael Mariano Grossi, on his X account.
