Electric cooperatives to power developing region of Guatemala
Sixteen Indiana electric cooperative lineworkers will travel to Guatemala in late January as part of an international initiative to bring electricity to a developing area in Guatemala.
“Project Indiana: Empowering Global Communities for a Better Tomorrow” will bring electricity to a part of the Central American country where none is available. The crew will spend January 29 through February 15 extending electric infrastructure in the village of Palmira, a mountainous area along the western edge of Guatemala. When completed, approximately 109 homes will have electricity for the first time.
