The Energy Matrix is the total percentage of all natural resources from which energy is derived and then transformed into electricity to supply households, business and industries. In Costa Rica, ICE is in charge of managing and controlling this matrix through its National Control Center (CENCE) and the National Electric System (SEN).
The power generation plants in Costa Rica can jointly produce 3.5 million kW. This is the average composi-tion of the Costa Rican matrix: The Energy Matrix is the total percentage of all natural resources from which energy is derived and then transformed into electricity to supply households, business and industries.
This information is based on IEA analysis carried out within the framework of Latin America Energy Outlook 2023. Costa Rica Energy Profile - Analysis and key findings. A report by the International Energy Agency.
