The United Arab Emirates will finance a Costa Rican program to achieve 100% electricity service across the country through small scale renewable energy.
In Costa Rica there are still approximately 28,000 families without access to energy.
This new program will allow the Costa Rican Electricity Institute and local cooperative to provide these families with access to modern energy services. The project will cost between $50 to $70 million, and will install mini hydro, wind and solar systems.
