Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad, Costa Rica’s state-run utility, will develop 100 megawatts of wind farms and 40 megawatts of small hydroelectric plants through 2015 as the Central American nation seeks to become “carbon neutral.”
Grupo ICE, as the company is known, will auction contracts to supply electricity from the facilities which are expected to cost $350 million, Ulises Zuniga Blanco, an engineer at the San Jose, Costa Rica-based utility’s Investment Strategic Process department, said today in an e-mail.
