The plant’s 17 Enercon wind turbines are sited 1,800 metres above sea level near the country’s capital San José.
Germany’s Juwi says building the plant during the local rainy season was a challenge. “Given that the wind farm is situated on top of the hills, the roads were slippery, steep and difficult to access,” says Alejandro Lobo-Guerrero, managing director of Juwi Energias Renovables in Costa Rica.
