The NUMU Solar Park,
developed within Ciudad
NYA in Liberia Canton in
Guanacaste Province, represents a major
milestone for Costa Rica's renewable
energy sector. With an installed capacity
of 29.2 megawatts, the project is expected
to become the largest solar energy
facility in Guanacaste and one of the most
important privately developed renewable
energy projects currently under
construction in the country.
Named
after the Chorotega word for "sun," NUMU
reflects both the cultural heritage of
Guanacaste and the region's growing role
as a center for sustainable infrastructure
and clean-energy investment. The project
is being developed on approximately 80
acres within Ciudad NYA and
represents an investment of approximately
$24 million.
Once
completed, the facility will generate
enough renewable electricity to power
approximately 16,000 Costa Rican homes
while contributing directly to the
national electrical grid through a 20-year
Power Purchase Agreement. The project has
secured a Presidential Decree declaring it
a project of national interest,
underscoring its strategic importance to
Costa Rica's energy future.
The
solar park incorporates approximately
40,000 high-efficiency photovoltaic panels
mounted on 480 advanced solar tracking
systems, each tracker supporting 84 panels
rated at 725 watts. The facility also
includes a dedicated 13.45-kilometer
transmission line connecting directly to
the Liberia electrical substation,
ensuring reliable delivery of renewable
power into Costa Rica's national energy
network.
Beyond its energy production capacity, NUMU represents a foundational component of the broader Ciudad NYA vision. Designed around principles of sustainability, innovation, and long-term regional development, Ciudad NYA seeks to create a model community where infrastructure, investment, and environmental stewardship work together to support future generations.
Having
engaged with national leaders, including
President Laura Fernández, on issues
related to investment, infrastructure, and
economic development, John Scheman
believes projects like NUMU represent the
type of public-private collaboration that
will be increasingly important as Costa
Rica prepares for future energy demand and
continued economic growth.
"President
Laura Fernández has emphasized the
importance of strengthening Costa Rica's
energy future through smart infrastructure
and long-term planning," said John
Scheman, President of NYA Developments.
"NUMU demonstrates how private investment
can help support those national objectives
while creating jobs, attracting capital,
strengthening energy security, and
reinforcing Costa Rica's position as a
global leader in renewable energy."
As
lawmakers debate new policies designed to
modernize the electricity sector, NUMU
provides a real-world example of how
strategic investment and forward-thinking
leadership can work together to accelerate
renewable energy development while
maintaining Costa Rica's commitment to
sustainability.
With
construction progressing rapidly toward
completion, NUMU is positioned to become
one of the most visible examples of Costa
Rica's next generation of renewable energy
infrastructure, a project that not only
delivers clean power but also showcases
how innovation, investment, and
public/private collaboration can help
shape the country's future.
