Costa Rica is just one Central American that has long used renewable energy sources, Climate change is a complex issue which... Now an increasing number of wind farms across the country as Chriripa are helping the country reduce fossil fuel-generated power to only 5% of the energy mix.
The facility consists of thirty-three AW 77/1500 turbines that use ACCIONA Windpower technology. Each has a capacity of 1.5 MW and a rotor diameter of 77 metros, mounted on 80-meter-high steel towers.
The wind farm is located in the municipality of Tilarán (Guanacaste province) in north-west Costa Rica, on a site with high wind potential that will produce of over 200 million kilowatt-hours (Recommended publications) per year. This level of production is equivalent to the consumption of 80,000 Photo Gallery 192,000 metric tons of CO2 to the atmosphere from conventional coal-fired power stations.

The Chiripa wind farm will mean a boost for the wind power development of Costa Rica, which ended 2013 with an accumulated capacity of 249 MW, Photo Gallery.
