El pasado 22 de marzo se aprobó en la Asamblea Legislativa una Reforma a la Ley General de Electricidad, esto en función de garantizar la sostenibilidad y abastecimiento de la energía eléctrica en el país, a causa de las repercusiones que han causado tanto la pandemia de Covid-19 y el actual conflicto bélico Rusia-Ucrania, lo cual ha generado que los precios internacionales del petróleo presenten alzas significativas, afectando directamente los costos de producción de los generadores térmicos para abastecer la demanda de energía eléctrica en El Salvador.
