- THE SOLUTION
Deployment of a thermal power plant.
- THE IMPACT
We ensured an uninterrupted energy supply during the dry season.
- THE CHALLENGE
Inject power into the national grid affected by declining reservoir levels.
THE CHALLENGE
Inject power into the national grid affected by declining reservoir levels.
In Costa Rica, during the El Niño phenomenon, the country faces energy challenges intensified by low water levels in hydroelectric sources.
This phenomenon led to a significant drop in the reservoirs of several hydro plants, seriously affecting the country’s energy matrix, which relies 72% on hydro sources for its total energy supply.
