ANDA, together with the Swedish Institute for Environmental Research, will work on a project that will generate energy and supply clean water to the pumping plant and wastewater, using biogas and photovoltaic panels, which will reduce the $200,000 per year in electric bill costs of the pumping plant in Ciudad Futura.

With this cooperation project, ANDA will benefit more than 21,000 Salvadorans, inhabitants of Cuscatancingo. «With the execution of this project, we are going to improve the supply and sanitation of this plant [Ciudad Futura] in Cuscatancingo. We are going to generate clean and green energy. All this has to do with climate change,” said the president of ANDA.
It is also worth mentioning that this activity is a follow-up to the visit that said authorities made at the end of August to Smart City Sweden, during World Water Week 2022, which aimed to establish alliances with strategic allies that contribute to strengthening the institution.
