Panama announces exclusive solar photovoltaic tender for 2026 as part of new electricity sector schedule

Panama’s National Energy Secretariat has introduced the first Annual Electricity Sector Tender Schedule, which outlines five bidding processes from 2025 to 2028. This includes a dedicated solar photovoltaic tender scheduled for 2026. The plan includes 1,420 MW of energy and 1,335 MW of new installed capacity, aiming for a balanced distribution of generation technologies. The separate tender for solar projects is designed to address technical considerations and prevent supply concentrations during daytime hours.
