Panama:repowering what exists
Substation repowering, protection and control, and power-cable work.
USD 167 M
ETESA investment program this year
Source · Panamá América · 2026-08-17
ETESA runs a USD 167 million investment program and prefers repowering existing lines over building new ones; its manager says repowering maximizes resources and minimizes risk. The interconnection with Colombia will include 120 km of submarine cable out of its 500 km.
What prequalificationrequires
- Repowering existing assets before opening new lines (ETESA).
- Submarine cable documented joint by joint: the link to Colombia adds 120 km under the sea.
- Own experience: with multilateral lenders, affiliates and partners do not count (World Bank, §6.21).
