Costa Rica receives about 65% of its energy from hydroelectric plants alone due to its extreme amounts of rainfall and multiple rivers. As the largest source of energy, 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 (Costa Rican Institute of Electricity) is the , which ha. Indeed, Costa Rica exhibits an exceptional matrix based on clean resources: hydric, geothermal, wind, solar and biomass, together with a minimal portion that comes from thermal generation. The latter source works as installed capacity backup.
