Panama's 2015-2050 National Energy Plan

Panama's National Energy Plan 2015-2050 establishes a roadmap for the country's long-term energy development, focused on sustainability, equitable access, and energy security. The plan proposes four main pillars: 1) universal access and reduction of energy poverty, 2) decarbonization of the energy matrix, 3) energy efficiency and sobriety in consumption, and 4) energy security. These pillars seek to guarantee an adequate energy supply, promote the use of renewable energy, and minimize dependence on fossil fuels. The plan recognizes that energy development is essential for the country's economic and social progress, and proposes a transition to clean and sustainable energy. It highlights the importance of incorporating new technologies, such as solar and wind energy, while maintaining the development of resources such as hydroelectric power. In addition, it addresses the challenges of energy infrastructure, increasing urbanization, and the need to integrate policies that encourage efficiency and rational use of energy.
