ICosta Rica isiqede unyaka wezi-2016 ngaphandle kokushisa noma yimaphi amandla okubasa izinsuku ezingaphezu kwama-250. Amaphesenti angama-98,2 kagesi waseCosta Rica aqhamuka emithonjeni evuselelekayo ngo-2016.
Kwakuyinkampani yombuso i-Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad uqobo ebike le datha futhi lokho kusibeka phambili esinye sezibonelo okufanele zilandelwe kwamanye amazwe ngenhloso yokudweba elinye ikusasa elihlanzekile neliluhlaza kunaleli esinalo etafuleni njengamanje.
ICosta Rica ibisebenza nge ukuxubana kwemithombo yamandla kagesi ophehlwa ngamanzi, i-geothermal, umoya, i-solar ne-biomass. Amaphesenti angama-74,35 kagesi wezwe aqhamuke emithonjeni ephehla ugesi ngamanzi. Izitshalo ze-geothermal zinikele ngamaphesenti ayi-12,74 okuphehlwa kukagesi, kuyilapho ophephela bomoya behlinzeka ngamaphesenti ayi-10,30, ukuqeda nge-biomass nelanga okhiqize u-0,74% no-0,01% ngokulandelana.
El Amaphesenti angu-1,88 kagesi wakho Kwakudingeka ihlehlele kusibaseli ngenxa yokushoda ekwindla kwezimvula ekuqaleni konyaka, kepha ngokujwayelekile iyisibalo esiphansi kakhulu.
Ngisho izovula amapulazi amane omoya amasha ngonyaka ozayo futhi balindele isimo sezulu esikahle komunye wemifula emikhulu ukuze izitshalo zokuphehla ugesi zikwazi ukusebenza ngokugcwele.
NgoSepthemba 2016, eCosta Rica uye kwabezindaba emhlabeni wonke ngenxa yokusebenza ngamaphesenti ayi-100 ngenxa imithombo yamandla evuselelekayo izinsuku eziyi-113. Kodwa-ke, kuzothatha iminyaka embalwa ngaphambi kokuthi izwe livuseleleke nge-100%.
Kuyindlela yokuhamba ukuthi kuthatha amaphesenti angama-70 okusetshenziswa kwamandla eCosta Rica futhi isabuyiselwa emandleni okubasa. Emhlabeni jikelele, ngo-2016, amandla avuselelekayo anikeze amaphesenti angama-95 kagesi e-Uruguay. ISweden ithola uhhafu wamandla ayo kokuvuselelwa futhi iPortugal ithole izinsuku eziyi-107 ingasebenzisi lutho ngaphandle kwalezi zinhlobo zemithombo yamandla ehlanzekile.
