Get PriceThe 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.
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).
Reventazón Hydropower Plant in Siquirres with a generation capacity of 305.5 MW; this plant can supply power for 525,000 Costa Rican households. ICE provides power service for 94.4% of households, businesses, and industries in the country. This numbers are huge if we compare them with the average 14% percent coverage in 1949.
As a complementary and backup source, there is hydrocarbon. The demand in the country rounded the 11 334 GWh in 2019 mainly in the Metropolitan Area (GAM), the service is provided with the same robustness and quality that the one provided to the rest of Costa Rica.
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 biggest production of wind energy is between December and March. This period corresponds to the dry season when the rivers flow diminishes. By 2020, Costa Rica totals 18 wind plants; 16 of them are located in Guanacaste. In 1996, Costa Rica became the first country in Latin America that used wind to generate electricity.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide. North America leads with a 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 30-35%. Europe follows with a 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 50% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-6 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $500/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar energy storage battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 50% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,000/kW to $550/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 40% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $450/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $25,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $100,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
