The UEP has 12 months to delivery of the required documents, after which may request the final license.

The Panamanian wind Union (UEP) is the bet for the Spanish wind Union (UEE) for the sector of renewable energy in Panama. Its vision become reference in the renewable energy market in that country. That leadership must be based on sustainable development and with the commitment to the environment.

According to statements, the company chose Panama expansion because it is a country with a proven political and economic stability and infrastructure systems and legislative that favors the introduction of clean energy.

It was also reported that there will be areas where wind turbines will not be installed because it’s archaeological value as "Vallecitos" area, or because it is a protected natural area as the 1857 Constitution National Park.
