Uruguay's energy grid was powered almost exclusively by domestically created, renewable energy, and, adjusted for inflation, consumer prices had gone down. Today, there are more than 700 wind turbines installed across Uruguay's countryside. "It was absolutely a complete transformation," says Méndez Galain.
In 2020, Uruguay produced 13.5 TWh of electricity, with 40% coming from wind energy, 30% from hydro, 20% from biomass, 6% from fossil fuels, and 4% from solar. As of 2020, 100% of the population has access to electricity. The UTE is spending $960 million between 2020-2025 for installing new electrical transmission infrastructure.
Uruguay primarily imports natural gas from Argentina via the Gasoducto Cruz del Sur. As of May 2021, there are no new projects proposed for oil and gas in Uruguay. Uruguay generates nearly half of its electricity from wind and solar, more than any other country in Latin America and the Caribbean.
As of 2020, renewables accounted for 75.8% of Uruguay's electrical capacity, while non-renewable sources made up the remaining 24.2% (down from 29% in 2016).
His vision for Uruguay's energy future was to cover that empty land with hundreds of wind turbines. Today, wind power accounts for around 40% of Uruguay's energy production. And, according to a 2008 law, all the wind in the country officially belongs to the Uruguayan people.
In 2022, exports of electricity represented $222 million which was less than 50 percent of the total amount of electricity exported in 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a severe drought which adversely affected the generation in Uruguay.
In 2021, Uruguay generated 47% of its electricity from wind and solar combined (up from 36% in 2019), ranking second in the world behind Denmark. Since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol in …
