3 2 Americas 2.2 Central America Panama Yan Huang, International Center on Small Hydro Power Key facts Population 3,510,045 1 Area 78,200 km 2 Climate Tropical maritime: hot, humid, cloudy 1 Topography Interior mostly steep, rugged mountains and dissected, upland plains; coastal areas largely plains and rolling hills 1 Rain pattern Caribbean coast: precipitation in the rainy season from May to December accounts for per cent and in the dry season only per cent. Pacific coast: precipitation in rainy season is per cent and 7-15 per cent during remaining time of the year 2 Electricity sector overview The electrification rate in Panama is 88.1 per cent. 3 By the end of 2011, Panama had 2,391 MW installed electricity generation capacity, 56.5 per cent (1,351 MW) hydropower, and 43.5 per cent (1,040 MW) thermal (figure 1). 4 Thermal Hydropower Figure 1 Electricity generation in Panama Source: Secretaría Nacional de Energía % 56.5% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% The National Secretariat of Energy is in charge of formulating energy policies according to the National Plan of Development. In Panama, hydropower development started in 1915 with the construction of the Panama Canal. In 1961, the Instituto de Recursos Hidráulicos y Electrificación (IRHE) was established and served as a state-owned enterprise, which made a plan of a series of small/medium hydropower projects. In 1972, the nationalization of the electric sector covered the whole electric system. As a result in 1974, the Electric System of IRHE was created. According to the Law No. 6 dated 3 February 1997, the generation (four enterprises), distribution (three enterprises) and transmission (one enterprise) were separated and parts of the shares of some generation and distribution enterprises were privatized. 5 Small hydropower sector overview and potential In Panama, hydropower plants are considered small hydropower if the capacity does not exceed 5 MW. There are 10 small hydropower plants in Panama with a capacity under 10 MW and a total installed capacity of 38.8 MW (figure 2). Four of the smaller plants are reported not to be operational. 6 According to the Inventory of Hydroelectric Projects (Inventario de Proyectos Hidroelectricos) carried out by Empresa de Transmisión Eléctrica S.A. (ETESA), in 2000 the total potential for small hydropower projects with capacities ranging between 1 kw and 100 kw was 1.2 MW, for those ranging between 100 kw and 1 MW was 5.22 MW and for those ranging between 1MW and 10MW was MW, thus with a total of MW. 7 SHP installed capacity SHP potential MW Figure 2 Small hydropower capacities in Panama MW In order to overcome the low electrification rate in Panama the Oficina de Electrificación Rural aims to increase rural electrification by the use of micro hydro, photovoltaics and small wind projects. 8 Renewable energy policy Article 55 of Law No. 6 established in 1997, states that it is in the Government s agenda to encourage the diversity of energy sources and to mitigate adverse environmental impacts by reducing the country s dependency on traditional energy sources. Competitions and auctions for the sale of electricity are incorporated with a five per cent discount for renewable energy purchases. 9 The Government of Panama has not established specific targets for renewable energy but it has increased its support through the approval of different incentives. The Law 45 has provided strong incentives for small renewable energy applications, including hydro, geothermal, wind, solar and other renewable energy technologies. In addition, the National Assembly has launched incentive laws for renewable energy such as import and other tax exemptions for equipment of wind generation (projects under 10 MW) and large hydropower. Wind generation benefits from 25 per cent of repaying the initial investment based on their carbon credits. 10 Legislation on small hydropower In 2004 the Government enacted Law 45 (Establishment of an Incentive Regime for Systems of Hydraulic Generation and of Other New, Renewable and Clean Sources) that established preferential measures for mini and small hydropower plants, i.e. 1
4 mini hydropower plants may realize sales contracts directly with electric distribution companies with exemption from distribution and transmission costs. Small hydropower plants are granted this exemption for the first 10 MW during the first 10 years of commercial operation. 10 Barriers to small hydropower development Panama is disadvantaged by an underdeveloped value chain regarding small hydro, despite the room for development and growth of a value chain, encouraged by the generous policy tax incentive. In addition, a dearth of microfinance institutions and local investors further hinders the progress of the small hydropower sector. 8 References 1. Central Intelligence Agency (2012).
