Panama initiates renewable energy tender — the first of its kind in a decade

Panama’s National Secretariat of Energy (SNE) has issued a resolution directing the Electric Transmission Company SA (ETESA) to organize a tender for long term energy supply. The initiative aims to ensure reliable electricity, lower prices, and create green jobs. The tender encompasses 500 MW of power, with a 20-year contract signed with electricity distribution companies, and will include adding battery storage systems. This marks Panama’s first renewable energy tender in the past decade and the first in Central America to include storage.
