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).
What is the future of energy in Uruguay?
Credit: FRV Future Renewable Vision. After hydropower and wind, biomass is another important energy source, accounting for 15-20% of the electricity Uruguay produces. Wood pulp plants, for example, are now burning organic waste to produce energy for the grid, turning what was an environmental liability into an energy asset.
What are the main sources of power in Uruguay?
Biomass from wood, cattle, and edible oils is another important form of power generation in Uruguay, accounting for 15% in 2019. A pilot project for green hydrogen is underway in Uruguay.
