Panama Solar Park El Espino: A Major Leap in Solar Energy
Panama has unveiled its largest solar power facility yet—the $70 million El Espino solar park, with an electricity generation capacity of 105.6 MW. Located in Coclé, this impressive project is a significant step forward for Panama’s renewable energy landscape.
El Espino will play a crucial role in meeting the nation’s rising energy demands while reducing its dependence on fossil fuels. The project aligns with the global trend toward cleaner energy sources, a shift reflected in Brunei’s ambitious goal of 30% renewable energy by 2035 (Brunei renewable energy 2035: 30% Goal).
Meanwhile, ongoing debates over solar tariffs and international trade, like those surrounding a 2024 petition against Laos solar imports (Shocking 2024 petition challenges Laos solar imports), highlight the growing complexity of the global solar market.
