Costa Rica
Unfortunately, more than 67% of that "renewable" energy is generated using hydroelectric sources. Although the preponderance of Costa Rica''s other energy sources are considered authentic renewable energy sources, hydroelectric, which is classified as renewable, is notorious for its abysmal sustainable land use characteristics.

Energy Resource Guide
Renewable energy in Costa Rica supplied about 98.53% of the energy output for the entire nation in 2018. In 2014, 99% of its electrical energy was derived from renewable energy sources, about 80% of which from hydroelectric power. The project''s totaling was $11.5 million ($10 million from JICA and $1.5 million from ICE. This plant of 1MW
Costa Rica Continues to Advance in Solar Energy Projects
This type of renewable and clean energy is an environmental solution that should be adopted as a norm around the world and more so now where we face a drastic climate change. Through its zero decarbonization plan, Costa Rica encourages the development of projects that involve the use of clean and renewable energy that does not harm the environment.
Renewable energy in Costa Rica
Costa Rica receives about 65% [14] of its energy from hydroelectric plants alone due to its extreme amounts of rainfall and multiple rivers. [15] As the largest source of energy, hydropower represents the most important source of energy in the country, but after inauguration of the Reventazon Dam, the only big hydro project remaining in the planning stage by the Instituto
