By Blanca Diaz Lopez - The Central American country is gearing up to approve a regulation, which aims to support solar energy installations. Currently, a 2.4 MW solar park with investment from Enel Green Power is being built in Panama.

A bill aimed at introducing a solar support mechanism in Panama was passed at a cabinet meeting held by the country’s government on Tuesday. No specific details on the "regime of incentives" were revealed, however.

In a statement released by the government, Panama’s secretary of Energy, Vicente Prescott, said that the goal is for solar energy to compensate for a decrease in the use of fossil fuels. It should also support parts of the population that don’t have access to commercial energy sources.

In 2008, Panama introduced a net metering regulation for renewable energy. Currently, a 2.4 MW solar park with investment from Enel Green Power is being built in the country.

The country has difficulties in energy generation, due partly to the delay in the rain season and its effects on the production of hydropower, which accounts for around half of Panama’s energy mix. (pv-magazine.com)

MANAGUA, Nicaragua - A proposal by Central American businessmen to build a natural gas pipeline from Mexico to Panama will be presented during a weekend meeting between U.S. President Barack Obama and Central American presidents.

Nicaraguan businessman Jose Aguerri says the project would lower energy costs in the region and make its economies more competitive.

Aguerri said Tuesday that the idea was first proposed by Nicaraguan businessmen and has since gained support across Central America's private sector.

He says he hopes Obama will back the idea because the pipeline would make the region more self-sufficient.

After a two-day visit to Mexico, Obama will meet with Central American presidents in Costa Rica on Saturday. (AP)
