Guatemala Updates

Oregon Empowers is proud to announce plans to return to Guatemala in March/April 2025 to bring power to another village: Aldea Coco.

The 2025 Oregon Empowers team is excited to bring electricity to Aldea Coco, Guatemala.

Aldea Coco is about a three-hour drive from Guatemala City in the state of Zacapa. Planning is underway and will again include crew members from electric cooperatives across Oregon. Aldea Coco is a remote village of about 30 homes, a church and a school. The project requires running approximately 3.7 miles of primary wire, 1,000 feet of secondary wire, 35 to 40 primary poles and 10 secondary poles across difficult terrain.
