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).
It is also important to mention that Panama has 22 isolated generation systems with an installed capacity of 46.5 MW, of which 94.5% utilise thermal generation technologies. Figure 6 shows the locations of these isolated generation plants. Based on: STRI (2023), Isolated electricity generation systems.
Panama’s electricity transmission system includes a set of 230 kilovolt (kV) and 115 kV high-voltage lines, substations, transformers and other elements necessary to transmit electricity through the SIN to diferent delivery points.
1. INTRODUCTION Energy infrastructure development in Panama, as in the rest of Latin America, was conceived under assumptions of climate stability, anticipating minimal or even no changes in climate behaviour over the long term.
