The power production is equal to around 5,600 Panamanian household’s energy consumption avoiding over 10,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
Ana Caballero will assume the position of site manager making her Enel’s first female to take the position.
EGP currently has three installations in Panama with a total combined capacity of 354MW.
