Costa Rica is a small country with hardly any industry and abundant amounts of hydro power.
The country’s whole electricity demand is about 1.82 GW according to electricitymap.org with around 1.5 GW from hydropower and the rest mostly from geothermal power.
1.82 GW is a little more than a single EPR reactor. Just for comparison.
I wonder how these numbers compare per capita. I'm assuming the average french person uses more electricity than the average costa rican. Both in terms of electric transit in france and the cooler winters.
