"And it looks like the savings on fossil fuels will deliver a cut in the electricity price of up to 15 per cent in the near future for Costa Ricans - putting cash back in the pockets of the people," he said.
He said these were the kind of savings Fiji needed and were achievable with geothermal power generation.
