Panama’s public services regulator Asep has canceled the provisional license for a large-scale solar park planned for Panamá province.

The license for the 100MW Camarones project was held by Fotovoltaica Sajalices which had filed a request for additional time to submit documents required for the definitive license.

The watchdog rejected the extension on the grounds that it was the developer’s fifth request since 2014 when the provisional license was granted for an initial 20MW.

Fotovoltaica Sajalices did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Asep information shows that Camarones was the largest of 20 solar projects that held provisional licenses at end-August for a combined 380MW.

Another 13 solar projects for a combined 234MW hold definitive licenses, three of which are in construction and seven in final design, while three are requesting extensions.

The solar plants in construction are Penonomé (120MW), Farallón Solar 2 (9MW) and Ecosolar 2 (10MW).
