According to the state-owned company, ICE is the first electricity company in America to certify its customers the use of clean production.
This support offers an additional guarantee for the calculations of the National Center for Energy Control (Cence), which publishes a study on the consumption and production of electricity in the country every month, he points out.
It highlights that Costa Rica has gotten more than 98 percent of its electricity from five renewable sources since 2015, a number that will exceed 99 percent in 2022.
The joint process between ICE and LSQA required several phases of analysis of generation and demand data and their traceability, both for the institute and for other national market players, distributors, rural electrification cooperatives, municipal companies and private generators.
The manager of ICE Electricity, Roberto Quirós, explained that the certification guarantees all our customers that the energy they receive from the SEN to carry out their processes is based on a renewable matrix, recognized worldwide, giving them additional benefits in the Positioning can bring their products and their services.
These measures allow to give the country competitiveness, investment attractiveness and an important positioning of the energy quality provided by the institute, he said.
He assured that this is in addition to ICE’s efforts to offer competitive fares to all of its customers, a task we will continue to work on in 2023.
Cence director Julio Matamoros pointed out that the certified data forms the basis of the renewable energy seal that ICE awards to its customers, which certifies that the energy is generated from sustainable national sources.
The government agency concludes that the electricity produced in Costa Rica using renewable resources and supported by its generation, transmission and distribution systems also enables ICE to deliver clean energy to the benefit of all customers – residential, commercial and industrial – on the regional export electricity market .- from the country.
