The Administrator of the Panama Canal, Ricaurte Vásquez Morales, participated as a panelist at World Energy Week 2025, organized by the World Energy Council in Panama City.
The event brought together leaders, authorities, and experts from across the energy sector to discuss the challenges and opportunities of the transition toward a cleaner, more inclusive, and resilient energy future.
The Panama Canal upholds sustainability as a fundamental pillar, integrating operational efficiency, innovation, environmental and social responsibility into every project. This vision seeks to drive development that creates value for Panama while reinforcing its role in global connectivity.
Looking ahead to the next decade, the Canal’s strategic investments in energy and logistics development include the creation of an energy corridor featuring an interoceanic gas pipeline, designed to enhance connectivity and the efficiency of global trade. These initiatives are expected to have a positive impact on the economy and society, generating thousands of jobs and contributing significantly to the nation’s growth, while consolidating Panama’s position as a key player in regional trade and energy connectivity.
The Panama Canal’s participation in this global forum reaffirms its commitment to sustainability, international cooperation, and responsible development, aligned with worldwide efforts to achieve an equitable and sustainable energy transition.
