In Panama, acciona.org works through ACCIONA Microenergia Panama, a Panamanian non-profit association(*) established in 2018, having the acciona.org Foundation as its reference partner.
(*) Recognized as a non-profit social organization by the Ministry of Social Development of Panama.
Our objective is to bring access to modern energy to low-income people living in Panamanian rural communities, where there is no prospect of having that service with traditional means (distribution networks). With this aim, we provide third generation solar home systems (3GSHS).
In addition, we have extended the Centros Luz en Casa network to promote that local entrepreneurs with small shops in reference locations offer proximity attention to the beneficiaries.
Yearly our projects increase their positive impact on the benefited population, favouring principally the achievement of SDG6, for its targets of universal access to water and sanitation, and SDG7, for its target of universal access to energy, as well as SDG9 in promoting the innovation.
