6 FAQs about [Panama Power Plant Energy Storage]

How much electricity does Panama need?

At the same time, electricity demand in the country has continued to increase, reaching a peak demand of over 1 600 megawatts (MW) in 2015. To meet this growth, Panama introduced wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) energy in 2013, which reached 270 MW and 90 MW of installed capacity by 2016, respectively.

What is Panama's power system like in 2017?

In 2017, Panama’s power system had very large installed hydropower capacity (54% of total capacity) and substantial VRE capacity (45.3%). The generation breakdown was 64% renewable energy (36% run-of-river hydro, 18% reservoir hydro, 8% wind, 2% solar photovoltaics (PV)) and 36% thermal generation (29% oil and 7% coal).

What are the main sources of electricity in Panama?

The largest source in the electricity mix is hydropower, followed by thermal generation (oil products and coal). Wind and solar power came on line in 2013, and by 2016 Panama had 270 MW of installed wind power capacity and 90 MW of installed solar power capacity (SNE, 2015).

Does Panama have solar power?

Since 2014, investments in solar and wind energy have grown markedly. Today, more than two-thirds of Panama’s electricity generation comes from clean sources, primarily through the contribution of hydropower. The country also has the largest wind farm in the region, and solar power generation – although still modest – has begun to take of rapidly.

How can Panama adapt its energy system?

To adapt Panama’s energy system to this evolving paradigm, a comprehensive plan is needed that considers a rapid growth in demand from the electrification of transport, including from the introduction of expanded metro lines, electric passenger vehicles and electric buses.

What challenges do solar and wind companies face in Panama?

Despite abundant renewable energy resources, solar and wind companies in Panama face economic challenges, given that the current power market model is based on conventional sources such as thermal and hydropower generation and does not recognise the unique operating characteristics of variable renewable energy (VRE) generation.
