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. However, in the past decade, Panama''s climate patterns have changed significantly (Ministerio de Ambiente Panama, 2021).
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 off rapidly. A
The government of Panama has outlined a new strategy for distributed-generation PV. The Central American country currently has an installed distributed-generation solar capacity of 46.63 MW

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.
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.
As shown in Figure 13, electricity generation in Panama has been dominated by hydropower. Wind and solar generation began in 2013, and reached 625.2 gigawatt hours (GWh) of onshore wind and 71.4 (GWh) of solar PV in 2016 (SNE, 2017a).

Challenge: Power system operations in Panama still reflect the “old paradigm” of centralised, dispatchable generation units. Given the unique physical conditions of VRE sources, challenges emerge for system operation with high shares of variable renewables.
In early 2017, the Technical University of Panama organised its first geothermal expedition to identify possible new sources of geothermal energy in the country (Richter, 2017). Plans were also announced for a possible 5 MW geothermal project in the Chiriquí province that would become the country’s first geothermal generating unit (Richter, 2013).
