Latin America is a region of rapid growth for renewable energy. Growing demand, decreasing costs of renewable technologies, high electricity prices, energy security concerns and, in some cases, the potential for export, provide incentives for deployment of renewable energy technologies.
Three recent reports from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) provide overviews of policy developments and renewable energy deployment data.
Renewables in Latin America and the Caribbean: This publication provides a regional-level summary of renewable energy statistics as of the end of 2015, including renewable electricity generation capacity, capacity growth, renewable electricity generation, and renewable energy balance. For country-level statistics, see below Renewable Energy Statistics 2016: Latin America and the Caribbean.
Renewable Energy Statistics 2016: Latin America and the Caribbean: This report presents IRENA’s latest statistics for renewable power generation and capacity, as well as renewable energy balances for all countries in the Latin America and Caribbean region.
Renewable Energy in Latin America: An Overview of Policies 2015: This report provides an overview of renewable energy policy in the Latin American region, including policy support for renewables in the following countries: Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela. The report analyses policies in four sectors: electricity, heat, transport and energy access, as well as some cross-cutting and other enabling policies.
