Central American Power System
Advances
PANAMA - The Central American Electrical
Interconnection System (SIEPAC) is 90
percent completed, Panamanian sources said.
According to Panama's National Public
Services Authority (ASEP), that mechanism is
expected to begin operating by mid-2011.
With a cost of nearly $500 million, the
project to lay 1,800 kilometers (about 1,118
miles) of power lines is funded by the
Inter-American Development Bank and the
Andean Development Corporation (CAF).
Experts agree this work will benefit the
region by facilitating sales operations
among power generating and distributing
companies.
