Identification of Barriers that Affect Panama NDC Target

Suarez, Ronny (2019): Identification of Barriers that Affect Panama NDC Target.

Abstract

Panama defines its National Determined Contributions (NDC) in the energy sector in terms of an increase in the installed capacity of alternatives energy sources renewable (solar, wind and biomass). The literature review was used to define four categories of barriers that affect the development of renewable projects: technical, institutional, economic and social. The content analysis of the ASEP’s resolutions allowed to identify the technical barrier as the main obstacle to the deployment of energy projects.
