Costa Rica Electricity Generation Mix 2024
Tackling the challenges of climate change and energy security requires bold steps, and investing in these sources could enable Costa Rica to continue
By sustaining and building on these trends, particularly through diversified sources like solar and possibly nuclear, Costa Rica can enhance its energy resilience and environmental stewardship. Costa Rica's electricity mix includes 76% Hydropower, 11% Wind and 11% Geothermal. Low-carbon generation reached a record high in 2025.
Costa Rica is on an upward trajectory with its electricity consumption, reaching 2560 kWh per person in 2025, surpassing the previous record of 2516 kWh per person in 2021. This marks an increase of 44 kWh per person, demonstrating a positive trend in electricity use which can be attributed to growing demand and better accessibility.
Costa Rica's impressive transition to low-carbon electricity is a significant achievement in mitigating climate change and reducing air pollution. However, as the country looks to electrify other sectors like transport, heating, and industry, the demand for clean electricity is poised to increase substantially.
