Costa Rica Runs 300 Days Straight on 100% Renewable Energy Costa Rica continues to impress with its commitment to renewable energy. We've been in awe when year after year, the Central American nation continues to lead by example, building toward its pledge of carbon neutrality by 2021. With just a few weeks left in 2017, they have run over 300 consecutive days using only renewable energy sources. This already beats their 2015 record of 299 days using only renewable sources of energy, and their 2016 records of running on anything but fossil fuels for 271 days. 99.62% of electricity for the nation of 5 million comes from renewable sources spread across five areas—hydropower (78%), wind (10%), geothermal energy (10%), biomass and solar (1%). This is in contrast with the United States, who only generates 15% of its electricity from renewable sources.
