An Environmental Impact Assessment study has been presented for the construction in Chiriqui, Panama, of a 19.8 MW wind power generation plant.

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study was presented by Energía Verde S.A. to the Ministry of Environment in Panama in July. The document emphasizes that the project, called Chimenea I will have a capacity of 19.8 MW and will have 13 triple-speed turbines with variable pitch unit of 1500 kW rated power as a minimum, properly distributed.

In October 2014 Energía Verde S.A. obtained a provisional license from the Public Services Authority to build and operate the wind farm.

The proposed wind farm for electricity production consists of a set of turbines that harness and transform wind energy, allowing providers to move away from other polluting energy sources (fossil fuels), encouraging the use of advanced energy technologies within the field of renewable energies.

The wind farm will be located in Dolega, Chiriqui, and requires an estimated investment of $60 million.
