===Energy===

El Salvador's [[energy]] industry is diversified across, relying on [[fossil fuel]]s, [[Hydroelectricity|hydro]], other [[Renewable Energy|renewables]] (mainly [[Geothermal Energy|geothermal]]) for local electricity production, along with a reliance on imports for [[Petroleum|oil]]. El Salvador has an installed capacity of 1,983 [[Watt#Megawatt|MW]] generating 5,830 [[Watt#Gigawatt|GWh]] of [[electricity]] per year, 84% of this comes from renewable sources including 26.85% from geothermal (produced from the country's many [[Geography of El Salvador#Physical features|volcanoes]]), 29.92% from hydro and the rest is from fossil fuels.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Barrera |first1=Jose A |title=El Salvador está generando 84.3% de su energía de fuentes renovables |url=https://diario.elmundo.sv/el-salvador-esta-generando-84-3-de-su-energia-de-fuentes-renovables/ |website=diario.elmundo.sv |date=16 August 2021 |publisher=Diario el mundo |access-date=16 September 2021 |archive-date=22 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210822053024/https://diario.elmundo.sv/el-salvador-esta-generando-84-3-de-su-energia-de-fuentes-renovables/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/el-salvador/#energy|title=El Salvador - The World Factbook|website=www.cia.gov|date=July 2022|access-date=1 July 2021|archive-date=21 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220321170220/https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/el-salvador#energy|url-status=live}}</ref>
