In 2020, 15.58% of Nicaraguans worked in the industrial sector, which includes the energy sub sector. [10] As of 2020, Nicaragua had 1619 MW of installed capacity, with fossil fuels comprising 54.84% of the total, followed by biofuels (13.47%), wind (11.50%), hydro (9.72%), geothermal (9.46%), and solar (1.01%). [1] .
“This gives us a guarantee that the project will be carried out in the best way and will ensure its best performance.” Around 60% of Nicaragua’s total energy supply is drawn from renewable sources, with biomass (41.8%) accounting for the largest share of generation as of 2022. The remaining 40% is supplied by oil imports.
A 2015 stud y by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) said Nicaragua’s energy costs suppress the competitiveness of its industries and the wellbeing of its citizens: higher rates limit access to essential services, increase production costs and hold back economic growth.
Conclusion and final remarks In the medium-long term the transformation of the Nicaraguan electric mix toward 100% renewable prioritizing the exploration of existing wind, geothermal, biomass and hydro sources is probably the best strategy to structurally reduce and stabilize national electricity tariffs while significant reduce GHG emissions.
Numerous NGOs are involved in rural energy concerns in Nicaragua. In early 2020, Nicaragua began to plan for the creation of four state companies (Enigas, Eniplanh, Enicom, and Enih) to coordinate the importation, storage, distribution, and sales of oil and gas in Nicaragua.
According to the International Energy Agency, Nicaragua supplies around 60% of its total energy from renewable sources, including wind, solar and geothermal, with biomass – an often contested renewable – accounting for the largest share, at roughly 40% of total supply.
The Maribios Range is part of the Pacific “Ring of Fire” and contains several active volcanoes. The government estimates Nicaragua’s geothermal potential to be 2,000 megawatts. Nicaragua’s National Electric Transmission Company (Enatrel) seeks to transform the country’s energy mix by focusing on renewable energy with its 2022-2037 expansion plan.
