Internship organization

 

This big state organization is the national supplier of electricity. They deliver energy to homes and companies, as well as generating and distributing electricity for Costa Rica. They are also a big player in the field of telecom.

 

One of the big responsibilities of this company is to guarantee the supply and delivery of electricity. The demand of electricity is always growing and therefore they need to expand both the generation and the distribution of electricity. Every two years they have to present a proposal to the government about how to generate and distribute electricity for the years to come. This proposal has to comply with the national laws and regulations concerning economics and environment. At this moment they are working on a new big hydro-electrical plant.

- Investigate and write advice for issues regarding existing electricity plants. For example how to increase efficiency of the generators, or how to solve actual problems, or how to minimize the amount of time spent on big maintenance

- Help with the design of the new plants
