El Salvador's [[energy]] industry is diversified across [[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, 52% of this comes from renewable sources including 29% from geothermal (produced from the country's many [[Geography of El Salvador#Physical features|volcanoes]]), 23% from hydro and the rest is from fossil fuels.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/el-salvador/#energy|title = El Salvador|date = 25 October 2021}}</ref>

According to the National Energy Commission, 94.4% of total injections during January 2021 came from hydroelectric plants (28.5% - 124.43 GWh), geothermal (27.3% - 119.07 GWh), biomass (24.4% 106.43 GWh), photovoltaic solar (10.6% - 46.44 GWh) and wind (3.6% - 15.67 GWh).<ref>{{cite web |last1=Singh |first1=Nanda |title=Las energías renovables crecen mientras las tarifas eléctricas disminuyen en El Salvador |url=https://www.energiaestrategica.com/las-energias-renovables-crecen-mientras-las-tarifas-electricas-disminuyen-en-el-salvador/ |website=energiaestrategica.com |date=10 February 2021 |publisher=energía estrategica |access-date=16 September 2021}}</ref>
