“THE YEAR 2015 has been one of electricity totally friendly to the environment for Costa Rica,” Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) said in a press release.
Heavy rainfalls have been powering four hydroelectric plants, generating enough electricity to supply the entire country of 4.8 million people for more than three months. No fossil fuels have been used since December 2014 and the small nation is planning on keeping it that way.
