Panama will host its first solar plus storage event, RE+ Central America, on December 4 and 5 at the Panama Convention Center.
US-based RE+ Events has revealed it will host a solar plus storage event in Panama City on 5-6 December.
“RE+ Events has been expanding its portfolio internationally for several years, successfully establishing platforms for the renewable energy and cleantech industries globally,” the company’s director of international partnerships, Benjamin Low, told pv magazine . “This includes the growth of our flagship trade show, RE+, as well as international trade shows such as RE+ Mexico and Electricity Transformation Canada. Given this momentum, Central America emerged as a natural next step in our expansion strategy, and we are delighted by the enthusiasm it is already generating.”
RE+ has said that Panama is a strategic choice for several reasons.
“It serves as an important logistics hub due to the Panama Canal and is geographically very accessible,” said Low. “COPA Airlines, Panama’s flag carrier, offers direct flights to and from numerous cities, making travel to the event easy. Panama also has a dynamic and expanding energy sector, with strong growth expected in the clean technology sector from 2025 onwards.”
Low said RE+ aims to have “a few hundred” attendees and has secured partnerships with key companies and regional organizations, such as the Panamanian Chamber of Solar Energy and the Panama Green Building Council.
“The RE+ brand encompasses more than just solar and storage,” said Low. “While these sectors will certainly be well represented, the event will also feature solutions from other areas such as e-mobility.”
The exhibition will feature international and regional exhibitors and sponsors, including Amara NZero, AP Systems, La Casa de las Baterías, CELTEK and WTS.
“We are already seeing a lot of interest from leading manufacturers looking to enter the Central American market through this event,” said Low. |
