These include the energy and environmental engineering course ofered by the Technological University of Panama (UTP) at the undergraduate, master’s and doctoral levels, and upcoming degrees at the University of Panama (UP) in electricity and renewable energy engineering.
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.
More recently, Panama established tax incentives for wind and solar energy. Law 44 of 2011 created wind-specific auctions, as well as accelerated depreciation on wind equipment and tax exemption for up to 15 years for wind equipment producers based in Panama.
Buildings in Panama use electricity for lighting, cooling, heating and motive power, while bunker fuel and diesel are used in boilers and furnaces to produce heat, and petroleum coke is used in cement plants. The use of oil products corresponds to more than 80% of the industrial sector’s total energy consumption (Figure 8).
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.
