Other efforts by ESSA are aimed to increase the community ’ s awareness about electrical power supply , by creating campaigns appearing in their social media outlets , TV and radio , and promoting energy awareness events in local schools .
Plans for the future ESSA ’ s current development plans are set to run from 2013 to 2027 , with a total investment of $ 242 million . More than 90 percent of the funds are destined to infrastructure optimization and expansion , 2.2 percent to plant maintenance , and the remaining 7.4 percent for marketing and commercial operations .
The most benefited project under this plan is the expansion program from 2015 to 2019 , which foresees 58 miles of new power lines for the current grid , expanding ten existing substations and building two more .
What lies ahead for ESSA may result in further accomplishments , which demand constant efforts . Once the company ’ s goals are fulfilled , the Santander Department and surrounding municipalities will benefit from attracting important investments .
