Until 1990, Central American countries harnessed their considerable hydrological resources to generate most of their electricity. In 1990 renewable energy accounted for 91 percent of power generated in Central America, although there was some variation between countries. Costa Rica and Honduras relied on renewable energy for 99 and 100 percent respectively, while Nicaragua stood at 61 percent – a low for the region. With electricity demand growing rapidly, the volume of electricity generated more than doubled from about 14,500 GWh in 1990 to 38,000 GWh in 2007 and capacity grew proportionally from 4009 MW to 9486 MW over the same period. Over this twenty year period, as much fossil fuel based generation capacity was built, mainly by the private sector, than capacity derived from renewable resources. This shift in generation sources made the region increasingly dependent on oil products which resulted in huge financial consequences from 2006 to 2008 when the costs of power purchases skyrocketed and some countries faced shortfalls in generation costs representing up to 3 percent of GDP (Figure 6).
