The company operates 1,169 MW of geothermal, 150 MW of wind, 132 MW of hydroelectric power, and 6.8 MW of solar, delivering a total of 1,457.8 MW (gross) of clean and renewable energy. EDC owns over 60% of the country's total installed geothermal capacity of 1.9GW.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IFC

The Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an IFC or MIGA- financed project. If you submit a complaint to the CAO, they may assist you in resolving a dispute with the company and/or investigate to assess whether the IFC is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. If you want to submit a complaint electronically, you can email the CAO at CAO@worldbankgroup.org. You can learn more about the CAO and how to file a complaint at http://www.cao-ombudsman.org/
