Impact on the local community
The new solar project is another symbol of our commitment to developing sustainable energy in Panama and promoting the energy transition, in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, we are specifically focusing on SDG #5 (Gender Equality): we hired five women to install solar panels during the construction of the plant.
