They stand to profit from this, as they do from all their investments, and they did from the bailout of the banking collapse they helped to create. .

I agree with you that solar farms should also be considered here, especially as the costs of panels have come down considerably and efficiency has improved (they now generate very well on cloudy days). I would think that they would do especially well in Guanacaste. I would think that someone should also be able to take advantage of the shade that is created beneath the panels for horticulture, but haven’t heard of any such projects.

Didñ´t Citi Bank just layoff 8000 staff in the USA. Funny how they can find the money to help CR. I guess workers really don´t matter just profits and control over the poor and middle class. Prince of Saudi is a major share holder of Citi Bank and he also owns hotel property in CR.

Lots of Sun in CR

Assuming that the operators are not ripped off on the equipment, this is a sure thing for making a profit and will provide much-needed relief to our power grid. Lenders like Citibank would be foolish not to fund such projects.
