The Costa Rican government on Wednesday updated the progress of the country’s decarbonization efforts.
The Presidency says 90.7% of the 2022 targets are underway, while 25% of the objectives set for the initial stage (2018-2022) have already been met. Notably, the Costa Rican Electricity Institute and the National Power and Light Company have reached a 100% renewable electric matrix, the government says.
Among the other highlights:
Zero-emission light transport: 35 government institutions acquired 332 electric vehicles. In addition, 62.3% of the target for installing charging centers for vehicles scheduled for 2022 was met, by implementing 43 of the 69 fast power centers planned.
Renewable electricity at a competitive cost: The Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) and the National Power and Light Company (CNFL) met the goal of maintaining a 100% renewable electric matrix in 2020.
