At the same time, electricity demand in the country has continued to increase, reaching a peak demand of over 1 600 megawatts (MW) in 2015. To meet this growth, Panama introduced wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) energy in 2013, which reached 270 MW and 90 MW of installed capacity by 2016, respectively.
To adapt Panama’s energy system to this evolving paradigm, a comprehensive plan is needed that considers a rapid growth in demand from the electrification of transport, including from the introduction of expanded metro lines, electric passenger vehicles and electric buses.
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).
Energy-intensive industries in Panama include food, tobacco, cement and paper production. Based on SNE (2015), Plan Energético Nacional (2015-2050). 4. COMMERCIAL AND PUBLIC SECTOR: The commercial and public sector is the largest consumer of electricity among the four sectors. Consumption reached 2 816 kboe in 2014 (Figure 5).
The largest source in the electricity mix is hydropower, followed by thermal generation (oil products and coal). Wind and solar power came on line in 2013, and by 2016 Panama had 270 MW of installed wind power capacity and 90 MW of installed solar power capacity (SNE, 2015).
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.
