6 FAQs about [Nicaragua Energy Storage Project]

What is Nicaragua's energy supply?

“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.

Why are energy costs a problem in Nicaragua?

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.
