Laureano Ortega Murillo, son of the president and presidential advisor for the Promotion of Investments, Trade and International Cooperation, said that CCCC will also build another solar energy plant in the country, which – combined with the aforementioned new plant – will generate more than 130 megawatts of energy.
According to the government, the San Isidro plant will comprise 112,000 solar panels. On the condition of anonymity, sources tell Dialogue Earth that a similar area of land will be used for the El Hato plant.
Since April 2018, Nicaragua has been facing a political and social crisis, punctuated by protests against Ortega's repressive government. The ensuing violence has caused 355 recorded deaths and led to a tightening of state control.
