This page publicly lists the primary sources that Energypoint relies on for its analysis of green energy in Uruguay and Panama, and what each is used for. The list is split by country because the two markets have different regulators and operators. The full verification process is set out in Editorial Methodology.
Uruguay (UY)
- MIEM — Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining: energy policy, generation matrix, the green hydrogen roadmap and the energy-efficiency labelling programme.
- UTE — the state electricity utility: capacity, dispatch, solar and wind generation, and storage strategy.
- ADME — Electricity Market Administration: how the wholesale market works and how energy is contracted.
- URSEA — the energy and water regulator: regulation, energy efficiency and mandatory labelling.
- Uruguay XXI — the investment-promotion agency: investment context (identified as promotional material when cited).
Panama (PA)
- National Energy Secretariat: the National Energy Plan, distributed-generation strategy and decarbonisation targets.
- ASEP — the public-services authority: electricity-market statistics, installed solar capacity, self-consumption and the technical rules for distributed generation.
- ETESA — the electricity transmission company (and its National Dispatch Centre): the wholesale market, supply tenders and long-term contracts.
- MEF — Ministry of Economy and Finance: economic analysis of the Panamanian electricity market.
Regional and certification
- CAF — the development bank of Latin America: financing and regional energy-transition reports.
- IRENA — International Renewable Energy Agency: comparative statistics on renewable capacity and costs.
- IFC / EDGE and USGBC / LEED: green-building certification standards used as a technical reference.
