Costa Rica is taking bold steps to diversify its energy portfolio. The country is integrating wind, solar, and geothermal solutions to strengthen its power grid. These efforts aim to reduce reliance on any single source and ensure long-term sustainability.
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.
Adaptive measures like diversifying energy sources and improving infrastructure are also underway. These efforts aim to ensure a stable energy supply while minimizing environmental impact. Despite current setbacks, Costa Rica continues to lead by example in the global shift toward clean energy.
Critically, the literature reveals gaps in solar-specific research for Costa Rica. While hydroelectric and geothermal energy dominate academic focus, solar remains underrepresented, despite its potential to address energy security and grid stability.
