Burica
Agua Imara and Credicorp group acquired the license to build the 63 MW Burica hydropower project in Panama in February 2012.
Burica is located directly downstream of the Bajo Frio project in the Chiriquà Viejo Basin close to the Costa Rican border. Burica is the eighth hydropower project in this river and will be the third powerhouse in the Bajo Frio cascade.
Burica is the second project of the Agua Imara and Credicorp partnership, in addition to the Bajo Frio project. Agua Imara owns 50.1% of Hidro Burica S.A., and is the industrial developer of the project.
Construction of the 63 MW run-of-river Burica plant is unknown at this stage, but we are closely monitoring the PPA auction date.
