SABANITAS – PANAMÁ III LINE AND ASSOCIATED
SUBSTATIONS
TYPE OF PROJECT
230 KV Transmission Line
and Substations
PROJECT COST
B/. 105,771,000
PROJECT STRUCTURE
There will be a design and construction bid that will include
environmental, sociological, operating and coordination studies.
Project Summary
Because the near future integration of new natural gas generation plants at
Colon province in the Atlantic, it is required that the existing transmission
system between the Panama and Colon provinces to be reinforced to transmit
this additional generation. Then it is necessary to construct
a new transmission line from the Colon area, this new 230 KV transmission
line will be built from the town of Sabanitas to the city of Panama (Sabanitas-
Panama III 230 KV); which requires the following works:
a. Line Sabanitas - Panama III 230 KV: line of 230 KV, double circuit, it will
have an approximate length of 50 km.
b. Expansion of the 230 KV Sabanitas substation: Two (2) new bays and
switches for connecting the 230 KV Panama III substation double-circuit
transmission line will be required.
c. Expansion 230 KV Panama III substation bays.
Program Date:
February, 2017.

PROJECT STRUCTURE
There will be a design and construction bid that will include
environmental, sociological, operating and coordination studies.
Project Summary
Due to the construction of new hydroelectric, solar, wind and thermal power stations in
the western side of the country, it´s necessary to increase the transmission capacity of
the electric power lines originating at Chiriquí and Bocas del Toro towards the
metropolitan area of Panama and Colon cities. Given the increase in load in the
metropolitan areas, we require the studies for design and construction of a Fourth
transmission line from Bocas del Toro province, beginning at a new 500KV Chiriquí
Grande substation, to the new 500KV Panama III substation. The following works are
required for the operation of this project:
Programing Date:
March, 2017.
