Feasibility and case studies on converting small hydropower
The analysis indicates that Jiangshantou Pumped Storage Hydropower Station will serve as the primary mechanism for power regulation.
Costa Rica was one of the first countries in the world to produce its electricity from 100% renewable sources. Two thirds of the energy generated by their national electricity supplier, Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE), comes from hydropower.
In collaboration with ICE, IHA and ITN Productions produced a film about hydropower in Costa Rica which was premiered at the 2021 World Hydropower Congress.
This renewable transition was accomplished in part through the development of the Reventazón hydropower project, the largest of its kind in Central America, financed by both national and international banks.

The analysis indicates that Jiangshantou Pumped Storage Hydropower Station will serve as the primary mechanism for power regulation.
