Little by little
The electric distribution system infrastructure that crawls throughout the Coopersa electric cooperative service territory in the Alta Verapaz department (similar to a state in the U.S.) of Guatemala powers the homes and businesses in seven communities. But that infrastructure hasn’t delivered electricity for more than two years because the hydro generator that produces the electricity has been broken.
Four Indiana electric cooperative lineworkers have been in the region since Friday, Aug. 8, to bring the infrastructure back to life.
Electric cooperatives to re-energize homes in Guatemala
Indiana electric cooperative lineworkers are traveling to Guatemala today to re-energize approximately 670 homes in seven villages in Central Guatemala as part of an international initiative to bring electricity to developing areas in Guatemala.
“Project Indiana: Empowering Global Communities for a Better Tomorrow” will bring electricity to a part of the Central American country where it has been out of service for nearly two years.
