Germany will provide a line of credit of 100 million euros ($112 million) for geothermal energy projects in Central America, Nicaragua's El 19 Web site reported.
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega met with Klaus Krämer, head of the Division of Regional Development Policy for Central America and the Caribbean of the German Economic Cooperation and Development Ministry, to discuss the project, the Sandinista news outlet said.
