  • Desarrollo De La Energía Geotérmica En Costa Rica
    Presented at Short Course on Geothermal Development in Central America – Resource Assessment and Environmental Management, organized by UNU-GTP and LaGeo, in San Salvador, El Salvador, 25 November – 1 December, 2007. GEOTHERMAL TRAINING PROGRAMME LaGeo S.A. de C.V. ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE GEOTHERMAL ENERGY RESOURCES OF COSTA RICA Paul Moya1 and Antonio Yock2 Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad, UEN Proyectos y Servicios Asociados C. S. Recursos Geotérmicos, Apartado Postal 10032-1000 San José COSTA RICA [email protected], [email protected]. ABSTRACT The assessment and development of geothermal energy resources in Costa Rica and their contribution to the electricity needs of the nation are reviewed. A national reconnaissance resource study, carried out during 1989 and 1991 (ICE, 1991), indicated that the possible total geothermal potential of the country was about 900 MWe. The first deep geothermal exploratory wells in Costa Rica were drilled at the Miravalles geothermal field in 1979-1980. The good results obtained in these wells allowed ICE to proceed to study the possibility of installing a geothermal power plant of 55 MW (Unit 1). Electricity was first generated at the Miravalles field in early 1994. Since then, the installed capacity has grown from 55 MWe (1994) to 163 MWe (2007). The two undeveloped Costa Rican geothermal systems that have been studied the most are those associated with the Tenorio and Rincón de la Vieja volcanoes. In 2001, a deep exploratory drilling program was begun at the Las Pailas geothermal zone on the southern slope of the Rincón de la Vieja volcano. At the same volcano, but in another geothermal zone called Borinquen, geothermal wells have been drilled starting in 2003 and 2004.

  • A Binary Plant at the Miravalles Geothermal Field
    Presented at Workshop for Decision Makers on Geothermal Projects in Central America, organized by UNU-GTP and LaGeo in San Salvador, El Salvador, 26 November to 2 December 2006. UTILIZATION OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY IN PROTECTED AREAS OF COSTA RICA Paul Moya1, Emilia M. Rodríguez2 and Alfredo Mainieri1 1Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad, UEN de Proyectos y Servicios Asociados Apartado Postal 10032-1000 San José COSTA RICA [email protected], [email protected] 2P.O. Box 218-1225 Oficentro Plaza Mayor San José COSTA RICA [email protected] ABSTRACT The Costa Rican Institute of Electricity (ICE) is in charge of the development and management of electric power generation in Costa Rica. ICE has developed the Miravalles geothermal project, which currently has an installed capacity of 163 MW, representing around 15.4% of the total electrical energy produced in the country. Even though Costa Rica has considerable undeveloped geothermal resources (estimated at a minimum of 865 MW), most of this potential is located inside national parks. Current laws do not allow the exploration or exploitation of geothermal energy inside national parks, and thus the potential for future geothermal development of the country is very limited. A new bill, entitled “Regulation Law for Geothermal Energy Production in National Parks” (File No. 16,137), has been written and presented to the Costa Rican congress. Its main purpose is to authorize ICE to develop geothermal resources inside the national parks while maintaining their protection for future generations. There have been conversations with some of the new members of congress to acquaint them with this law, and they have shown their willingness to support it when it is discussed in the legislature.
