A transformer explosion on the Pan-Am thermoelectric plant in La Chorrera has led to a widespread energy outage throughout Panama, reviews mentioned Sunday.
Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino described the harm as extreme in an announcement on X, criticizing the scenario.
“I am without electricity in Boquete. This is unacceptable. The damage is reportedly extensive,” he mentioned, including: “I will immediately request a report from the National Public Services Authority (ASEP) and the Energy Secretariat, and they will act accordingly. This poor service is enough.”
ASEP General Administrator Zelmar Rodriguez Crespo confirmed that the ability outage affecting many of the nation was attributable to a transformer explosion, including that crews had been working to resolve the difficulty.
An analogous incident in 2023 resulted in a nationwide blackout, leaving thousands and thousands in darkness for an prolonged interval.
