Activity
In Panama, acciona.org operates through acciona.org Panamá, a Panamanian non-profit association (*), established in 2018 under the legal name ACCIONA Microenergía Panamá, with 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 promote human development through access to basic services. In Panama, we facilitate access to modern energy solutions for low-income people in rural and Indigenous communities where there is no expectation that electricity services will be provided through traditional means. With this aim, we supply 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.
Our projects increase their positive impact on beneficiary communities year after year, contributing primarily to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) by providing access to sustainable, reliable and affordable energy solutions. They also have a positive impact on other areas of development, contributing to poverty reduction, improved health and well-being, the promotion of gender equality, access to education and training, the growth of local economies, and environmental protection.
