EEGSA was privatized in 1998: on 30 July 1998 the consortium Iberdrola Energia / TPS de Ultramar / EDP acquired 80% of the state's shares. Today it sits within EPM Guatemala, part of Grupo EPM (Medellin, Colombia). It distributes ~40% of the country's energy and covers Guatemala, Escuintla and Sacatepequez — the most industrialized departments — plus parts of Santa Rosa and Chimaltenango, with coverage above 99% in its area.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
