Driving the shift towards a sustainable future, Costa Rica''s efforts to reduce its ecological footprint are at the heart of its ambitious National Decarbonization Plan (NDP),
This policy roadmap complements the study “100% Renewable Energy for Costa Rica – A decarbonisation roadmap” by the University of Technology Sydney – Institute for Sustainable Futures. It aims to provide policy pathways for Costa Rican to achieve a fully decarbonised energy system in Costa Rica.
To reach this goal, Costa Rica will make changes and modifications to mobility and transport (public as well as private), optimize energy management, promote sustainable construction and industry, and improve recycling and waste disposal.
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.
Land use: Costa Rica intends to increase the current 52% of forest cover to 60% by 2050 and improve access to green spaces for citizens. Costa Rica’s National Energy Plan 2015-2030 (PNE) is the country’s seventh national energy plan and is inspired by the National Development Plan 2015-2018 (MINAE, 2015a).
To date, Costa Rica is one of very few countries to run on 100% renewable electricity for the largest part of the year. In fact, 2018 was the fourth year in a row that Costa Rica generated more than 98% of its electricity from renewable sources (2015: 98.99%; 2016: 98.21%; 2017: 99.67%; 2018: 98.15).
Currently, the energy system in Costa Rica is heavily centralised, with the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE), the state-owned power and telecoms provider, by law being the only actor obligated to provide electricity to all sectors and parts of the country.
