The project, located nine miles from the city of Chitre in Herrera province, is built for Enel Green Power Panama.
The solar PV plant has been interconnected to the La Empresa de Generacion Electricita (EGESA) grid network and it is expected to provide around 30% of the surrounding area’s electricity demand, equivalent to 2,600 homes.
Greenwood Energy CEO Camilo Patrignani said, "Latin America is one of the world’s most dynamic solar power markets, and we are excited to demonstrate our skill building utility-scale distributed clean energy generation projects on budget in this key geographical region."
Greenwood Biosar, a joint venture between Greenwood Energy and Biosar, has been awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract in September of 2013.
The company has provided all services and equipment for plant construction including engineering, civil works, and construction management and PV module installation, along with procurement, delivery, and installation of all inverters.
In addition, the company has provided pad mount transformers, MV switchgear, racking, metering devices, and monitoring and control systems for the project.
