Last update: 4 hours agoRenewables Finance Push: IRENA is inviting renewable project proposals across Central America and the Caribbean, including Nicaragua, with possible support via its Climate Investment Platform and Energy Transition Accelerator Financing—covering solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, bioenergy, e-mobility, and even green industrialization and supply-chain projects.

Energy Infrastructure Rules: The U.S. issued a national emergency restricting imports and installation of certain foreign-produced bulk-power equipment, a move that could affect grid-connected inverters and battery storage used in renewable projects. Nicaragua Rights & Detention: Nicaragua’s repression is highlighted by the case of lawyer Thelma Montenegro, detained after a driver’s license renewal, with authorities reportedly concealing her location and no formal charges confirmed. Health & Production Risk: Costa Rica’s dengue surge (and malaria concerns) shows how disease pressure can disrupt regional labor and food supply chains.
