Since the middle of the last century, Costa Rica explodes its renewable sources in a planned and balanced way; it is possible thanks to a diverse, sustainable, optimized and economical matrix. This matrix guarantees the energy supply thanks to the participation of the public and the private sector.
Reventazón Hydropower Plant in Siquirres with a generation capacity of 305.5 MW; this plant can supply power for 525,000 Costa Rican households. ICE provides power service for 94.4% of households, businesses, and industries in the country. This numbers are huge if we compare them with the average 14% percent coverage in 1949.
Costa Rica has researched and exploited it for almost 40 years. Today, Costa Rica exports its knowledge. Unlike the rest of renewable energies, which direct or indirect origin is solar radiation, geothermal is produced based on the heat that Earth transmits from its internal layers up to the surface; it is not climate dependent.
