Hydroelectric power generation
Hydropower is a well-established renewable energy source that harnesses the power of moving water to generate electricity. It provides a reliable and scalable source of clean energy with long asset lifespans, contributing to energy security and low-carbon power generation.
Virtual reservoir
By combining hydroelectric power with battery storage, this solution enhances grid flexibility and optimizes energy distribution. It enables businesses to leverage hydro’s reliability while improving storage capabilities to meet fluctuating demand and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
AES’ Panama hydro ensures always-on energy
Our Chiriquí Hydroelectric Complex in Panama includes three hydro plants: La Estrella, Los Valles, and Estí. The plants produce clean electricity from a waterfall connected by channels, pipes, tunnels, and dams.
222 MW
Includes three hydro plants: La Estrella 47.2 MW, Los Valles 54.8 MW and Estí 120 MW
1979 & 2003
Los Valles and la Estrella began operating in 1979 and Esti in 2003
$2.5 billion
Chiriquí is part of a $2.5 billion investment AES has made in Panama where it owns and operates 1,141 MW
