AES Panama ’ s assetts and workforce are ready to face Panama ’ s continual development
In its Panamanian operation , AES generates electricity from hydroelectric power and bunkering , as well as LNG in the short-term . This operation in Central American territory began in 1999 after partnering with the Panamanian State to acquire and strengthen assets from the Hydraulic and Electricity Resources Institute , including the Los Valles , La Estrella and Bayano power plants .
The then-new partnership constructed the plant at Esti , which began operations in 2003 , and soon after AES Changuinola was created . In 2015 , AES Panama constructed the Estrella del Mar I hopper barge . Panama is one of the most important power supply companies in Panama , with its capacity reaching 777MW . Its operations prioritize safety for employees as well as for the community where it serves and operates .
“ Panama ’ s development has been fueled by considerable investments and by projects such as the canal ’ s expansion , and the capital ’ s subway , among other initiatives demanding power supply to operate and sustain its progress ,” said Miguel
