What's the electricity and power supply like in Panama? Panama power outlets operate with a voltage of 110V-120V and a frequency of 60 Hz. From a touristic standpoint, most visitors will have no issues connecting to electricity -especially in the most popular areas of the country- since nearly 97% of Panama residents have access to electricity.
In general, though, power outages are rare. Half of Panama's electricity is generated through hydropower. Panama also boasts the largest wind farm in Central America, with over 100 wind turbines generating roughly 7% of the country's electricity needs.
