Can Costa Rica achieve a fully decarbonised energy system?
This policy roadmap complements the study “100% Renewable Energy for Costa Rica – A decarbonisation roadmap” by the University of Technology Sydney – Institute for Sustainable Futures. It aims to provide policy pathways for Costa Rican to achieve a fully decarbonised energy system in Costa Rica.
How will renewables affect Costa Rica's energy system?
Both renewable scenarios will result in a high proportion of variable power generation (PV and wind): 33%–31% by and 54%–66% by . Such a varied mix of renewables will make Costa Rica’s energy system more resilient, eficient and afordable.
What is the energy system like in Costa Rica?
Currently, the energy system in Costa Rica is heavily centralised, with the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE), the state-owned power and telecoms provider, by law being the only actor obligated to provide electricity to all sectors and parts of the country.
Will Costa Rica continue to develop its power capacity?
Costa Rica’s current plans for the continuing development of its power capacities would maintain a share of over 90% renewable electricity. Under these plans, the system might not be able to supply the transport sector with the additional power demand in case of a shift to electric mobility.
Is hydro power a major renewable power capacity in Costa Rica?
The installed capacity of hydro power dominated as a major renewable power capacity in Costa Rica in the last decades—it made up 72% of electricity generation in /18.
Does Costa Rica have 100% renewable electricity?
To date, Costa Rica is one of very few countries to run on 100% renewable electricity for the largest part of the year. In fact, was the fourth year in a row that Costa Rica generated more than 98% of its electricity from renewable sources (: 98.99%; : 98.21%; : 99.67%; : 98.15).
