The companies Proquinal – a member of the Spradling Group – and Swissol, accompanied by government authorities, inaugurated the largest and most innovative project for the storage of alternative energy in Costa Rica, which will help reduce the pressure on public electricity generation while also contributing to the country's carbon neutrality strategy.
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.
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.
This renewable transition was accomplished in part through the development of the Reventazón hydropower project, the largest of its kind in Central America, financed by both national and international banks.
