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.
Solar energy, though currently a minor player, offers untapped potential to enhance Costa Rica’s energy security. The country’s tropical climate ensures consistent sunlight, making solar PV systems ideal for both utility-scale and distributed generation.
Like wind power, solar power is another newer energy source in the country. The first solar power projects in the country were established in 1978 by just a few researchers from public universities at the Solar Power Laboratory at the National University. During 2012, Costa Rica inaugurated the Miravalles Solar Plant next to the Miravalles Volcano.
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.
