Panamanian generator Fortuna has submitted a request to the country's public services regulator Asep for a 32.5MW hydro concession, Asep said in a statement.
The project - dubbed La Soledad - would use water from the Santa María river in Veraguas province.
Asep will now publish the request in local papers and open a 10-day period during which other developers can submit requests for the project. If more than one vies for a project, there will be a procedure to see which the best offer is.
Fortuna already operates a 300MW plant on the Chiriquí river in the province of the same name, making the company the largest power generator in the country.
Italian power company Enel controls 49% of Fortuna through Americas Generation. Panama's government and employees own 49.9% and 1.1% respectively.
