13/ Conclusions 1: By incorporating country-specific cost of capital in the techno-economic assessment, the model can optimise electricity mixes for Central America, considering technical feasibility, market maturity, and the most cost-effective renewables options.

14/ Conclusions 2: Solar PV generation variability is balanced by the dispatchability of flexible geothermal power, with additional storage needed in systems featuring high shares of variable renewable energy. bsky.app/profile/chri...
