GEAalsorecommendedthat the requirement that steam be sold to the State at an establishedpricebeeliminated. Thecomplexand restrictive regulations may put Nicaragua in a less competitive position vis-à-vis other countries and dissuade foreign investment. To date, Nicaragua’s approach to geothermal development has been to grant exploitation permits to private companies onanegotiatedbasis. Oncetheresourcehasbeen identified, the GON will put the project out to bid, offering a preference to the company that conducted the initial resourceassessment. The GON cannot offer any pricing incentives; geothermal prices must be competitive with those of thermal and other powerprojects.

Geothermal Sites / Projects Nicaragua has an estimated 2,000-4,000 MWe of geothermal power potential. The GON has as a priority the development of geothermal power and sees its role as facilitator rather than developer oroperator. TheGON’sgoalistohave200-300MWeof geothermal installed capacity by 2001. On October 11, 1994, the GON presented a plan to the U.S. todevelop500MWeofgeothermalcapacityoverthenext 12 years; the plan was discussed at the Summit of the Americas (Lawrence, 1998).
