The Worldwatch Institute (Washington, D.C.) and INCAE Business School (Alajuela, Costa Rica) recently  announce the release of their report, The Way Forward for Renewable Energy in Central America. This study, made possible with support from the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and the Energy and Environment Partnership with Central America (EEP), assesses the status of renewable energy technologies in Central America and analyzes the conditions for their advancement in the future. It identifies important knowledge and information gaps, evaluates key finance and policy barriers, and makes suggestions for how to overcome both in a number of high-impact areas. The study scopes the improvements needed to facilitate the transition to a sustainable energy system and establishes the necessary methodology and groundwork for comprehensive regional and national energy strategies.

Here is a link to the press release, which includes key findings from the report.
