Los pozos que dieron ese primer empuje de energía siguen activos y en producción, como resultado de la visión sostenible del recurso que el ICE implementó desde el período de investigación. Se trata de la planta Miravalles I, en el Campo Geotérmico Alfredo Mainieri Protti, ubicado en Bagaces, Guanacaste.
(From Google Translate) On March 24, Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) completed a quarter of a century of geothermal production. Today, the country has the third largest installed capacity in the continent, behind the United States and Mexico.
The wells that produced that first push of energy are still active and in production, as a result of the sustainable vision of the resource that ICE implemented since the investigation period. It is the Miravalles I plant, in the Alfredo Mainieri Protti Geothermal Field, located in Bagaces, Guanacaste.
