Hydroelectric power is the most used source in Costa Rica, providing about 78% of the country’s electricity. Thanks to its many rivers and high rainfall, hydroelectric plants are mostly found in the central and southern parts of the country. Wind energy is the second major source, making up about 10% of the power supply.
The government is encouraging more solar power use through various incentives. Geothermal energy, which uses heat from the earth, supplies about 10% of the energy. This type of energy is especially viable in Costa Rica because of its volcanic areas, with plants near volcanoes like Miravalles and Rincon de la Vieja.
Costa Rica has long been celebrated for its dedication to sustainable energy, and as we move through 2025, this commitment remains the same. You might wonder why a small country’s approach to energy is significant on a larger scale.
This surge in eco-tourism has bolstered local businesses and, by extension, the overall economy. Costa Rica’s renewable energy initiatives have played a pivotal role in stabilizing the national economy, which in turn has had a positive knock-on effect on the tourism sector.

Tourists are increasingly drawn to Costa Rica to experience its green initiatives, such as tours of hydroelectric power plants and wind farms nestled in breathtaking landscapes. This surge in eco-tourism has bolstered local businesses and, by extension, the overall economy.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
