Heredia, Costa Rica

Where the Region’s Geothermal Market Comes Together

Geothermal projects do not move on resource potential alone. They require aligned public institutions, investable market structures, specialist partners and capital prepared to address early-stage risk.

For over a decade, GEOLAC has brought those pieces together, building the market intelligence and relationships needed to move projects forward.

GEOLAC 2027 is co-hosted by the Inter-American Development Bank, the World Bank and ESMAP, with the Government of Costa Rica as Country Co-Host. On February 3–4, it will convene 250+ senior stakeholders in Costa Rica for two days of project-led intelligence, candid discussion and high-value networking.

Why Costa Rica for 2027?

Costa Rica is both a proof point and a market entering its next chapter. Five decades of experience and approximately 200 MW of operating capacity put it in a unique position.

Borinquen I puts execution back at the center: how does a mature market add capacity while continuing to improve project economics?
