How does Costa Rica produce electricity?
Costa Rica was one of the first countries in the world to produce its electricity from 100% renewable sources. Two thirds of the energy generated by their national electricity supplier, Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE), comes from hydropower.
How can Costa Rica decarbonise its energy system?
New techniques and technologies will be needed to decarbonise these areas. Costa Rica’s energy policy aims to move from a fossil fuels based energy system towards renewable energy sources and to expand its power generation capacity, replacing old power generating stations and developing new projects.
Is there a film about hydropower in Costa Rica?
In collaboration with ICE, IHA and ITN Productions produced a film about hydropower in Costa Rica which was premiered at the 2021 World Hydropower Congress.
