Panama is a tropical country located in Central America, where the average temperature is 28 °C, although it can reach 32 °C in the city, with high percentages of humidity and where cooling and refrigeration makes up 53% of the final energy demand. That is more than 50% of the country's final energy production and yet, most of the energy transition debate in Panama has been focused on electricity. Why is air conditioning and refrigeration the blind spot of the energy transition in Panama?
