Lack of rain forces Costa Rica to switch on power

Monday, September 7, 2015


The Costa Rican Electricity Institute said that the lack of rains in August forced it to fire up one of its thermal plants on the Pacific coast, ending a clean energy streak that attracted worldwide attention.

In fact, it was the country’s second green streak this year. In August Costa Rica broke its own record by running 94 consecutive days exclusively on renewable energy.
