Renewable energy in Costa Rica
-
COSTA RICA, 2012/12/28
Costa Rica has the potential to be one of the first countries on Earth to generate all of its electricity from clean, renewable sources, including hydro, wind, geothermal and solar. As it stands, in most years the country generates over 90 percent of its electricity from these sources, mostly hydro, and clearly has the potential to eliminate the remaining generation from polluting fossils fuels altogether. What’s more, if it took full advantage of its potential, Costa Rica could export renewable energy throughout Central America.
