Nicaragua Wind electricity net generation, 1973-2017
Wind electricity net generation of Nicaragua sank by 22.22% from 0.90 billion kilowatthours in 2015 to 0.70 billion kilowatthours in 2016. Since the 50.00% jump in 2014,
This page is part of Global Energy Monitor 's Latin America Energy Portal. As of 2020, renewables - including wind, solar, biofuels, geothermal, and hydro power - comprise roughly 77% of Nicaragua's total energy supply, with oil providing the remaining 23%.
Preliminary figures announced by Nicaragua's Minister of Energy and Mines show that renewables were responsible for 75.2% of energy generation in 2020, with geothermal (21%), wind (16%), hydro (15%) and biomass (14%) contributing the biggest share.
Nicaragua generated 3797 GWh of electricity in 2020, with nearly 70% coming from renewable sources. For 2021 and 2022, the maximum electrical demand on the national system is projected at 710 MW, with April being the most demanding month on the electrical system historically.
As of 2020, Nicaragua had 1619 MW of installed capacity, with fossil fuels comprising 54.84% of the total, followed by biofuels (13.47%), wind (11.50%), hydro (9.72%), geothermal (9.46%), and solar (1.01%).
Nicaragua does not produce oil. The country ranks 115th for oil consumption globally, consuming 37,000 barrels daily during 2016 (approximately 0.25 gallons per capita). In 2019, Nicaragua imported US$506 million worth of refined petroleum and US$254 million of crude petroleum, primarily from the United States and El Salvador.
