La Estrella de Panama reports that former Deputy Administrator Eduardo Reyes presented the potentially first geothermal project in the Central American country of Panama.
The Baru-Colorado geothermal project is currently in exploration phase and has started work in a remote area at the Baru Volcanoe National Park.
The size of the project is expected to be 5 MW and is to provide power to the population of the Chiriqui province. The project still requires the approval by the state administration.
Investors backing $22 million in investment are part of the proposal.
