Free QuoteThe power generation plants in Costa Rica can jointly produce 3.5 million kW. This is the average composi-tion of the Costa Rican matrix: The Energy Matrix is the total percentage of all natural resources from which energy is derived and then transformed into electricity to supply households, business and industries.
ICE produces 100% of the geothermal energy in the country. Las Pailas II Geothermal Plant. Biomass energy comes from organic waste; it can be agricultural or domestic. In Costa Rica, the main resource is the sugar cane bagasse generated by the cane refineries in Guanacaste.
The Energy Matrix is the total percentage of all natural resources from which energy is derived and then transformed into electricity to supply households, business and industries. In Costa Rica, ICE is in charge of managing and controlling this matrix through its National Control Center (CENCE) and the National Electric System (SEN).
Since the middle of the last century, Costa Rica explodes its renewable sources in a planned and balanced way; it is possible thanks to a diverse, sustainable, optimized and economical matrix. This matrix guarantees the energy supply thanks to the participation of the public and the private sector.
