Energy profile: Panama
Panama''s renewable energy sector currently depends heavily on hydropower, and the National Energy Plan 2015-2050 aims to diversify Panama''s energy matrix to avoid dependence. Government initiatives call for increased reliance on wind and solar energy, and replacement of imported petroleum with biofuels. [4]

Renewables Readiness Assessment: Panama
Like many countries in Central America, Panama faces the challenges of a growing population and rising energy demand to power its economic growth. Oil and oil products account for around two-thirds of primary energy supply, making Panama vulnerable to global price volatility and rising costs for fuel imports.

What is Panama's energy supply?
This page is part of Global Energy Monitor 's Latin America Energy Portal. Panama currently relies on imported oil for the majority of its total energy supply. In the electrical sector, hydro energy also plays a key role, accounting for 43.9% of installed capacity and 67.2% of total generation as of 2020.
What is Panama's Plan Energético Nacional?
The PEN (Plan Energético Nacional) 2015-2050 aims to drastically increase the use of renewable energy in Panama to 70% of the country's energy mix. Panama aims to be carbon neutral by 2050, partially by emphasizing forest restoration to absorb CO2 emissions.
How much energy does Panama use?
Consumption reached 2 816 kboe in 2014 (Figure 5). Since 2010, the sector has accounted for about 15% of total final energy consumption in Panama, and its electricity consumption has maintained an annual average growth rate of 6.2% (Figure 9).
What are the challenges facing Panama's energy sector?
Challenge: Planning will remain an important cross-cutting area for Panama’s energy sector, as planners must cope with rising variability and uncertainty from the envisaged high penetration of solar and wind generation through to 2050.
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.
Which sector consumes the most energy in Panama?
The transport sector includes both cargo and passenger transport, and is the largest consumer in Panama’s total final energy consumption, at around 45% (Figure 3). The number of vehicles on the road in Panama has accelerated in recent years, from 564 155 in 2012 to 718 518 in 2015 (Figure 7).
