While hydroelectric power dominates the energy mix at approximately 80% of electricity production, solar energy, though currently a smaller contributor, holds significant potential to diversify and stabilize the grid. This paper investigates Costa Rica’s renewable energy journey, emphasizing solar power’s evolving role.
About 98 % of Costa Rica''s electricity comes from renewable sources like hydropower, wind, geothermal, and solar energy, positioning it as a global leader in the transition to a low-carbon economy [, ].
Research by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA, 2020) identifies Costa Rica as a potential leader in solar energy within Central America, given its high solar potential averaging 4.5-5.5 kWh/m²/day, yet notes that policy incentives lag behind those for other renewables.
Both renewable scenarios will result in a high proportion of variable power generation (PV and wind): 33%–31% by 2030 and 54%–66% by 2050. Such a varied mix of renewables will make Costa Rica’s energy system more resilient, eficient and afordable.
