Other efforts by ESSA are aimed to increase the community’s awareness about electrical power supply, by creating campaigns appearing in their social media outlets, TV and radio, and promoting energy awareness events in local schools. Plans for the future ESSA’s current development plans are set to run from 2013 to 2027, with a total investment of $242 million. More than 90 percent of the funds are destined to infrastructure optimization and expansion, 2.2 percent to plant maintenance, and the remaining 7.4 percent for marketing and commercial operations. The most benefited project under this plan is the expansion program from 2015 to 2019, which foresees 58 miles of new power lines for the current grid, expanding ten existing substations and building two more. What lies ahead for ESSA may result in further accomplishments, which demand constant efforts. Once the company’s goals are fulfilled, the Santander Department and surrounding municipalities will benefit from attracting important investments.
