Uruguay''s power grid runs on 98% green energy. Here''s how it

In a typical year, 98% of Uruguay''s grid is powered by green energy. How did it get there? It involved a scientist, an innovative approach to infrastructure funding, and a whole lot of wind.

Uruguay: Towards a 100% renewable energy matrix by 2026

Solar and wind energy are two of the pillars that have allowed Uruguay to achieve impressive figures in clean energy production. The country has a considerable amount of sunshine throughout the year, making solar energy a viable and effective option. Key projects and goals towards 2026

Sky Solar commits $85m to solar power in Uruguay

Sky Solar, the global clean energy developer, has secured $85 million in debt finance to expand solar power infrastructure in Uruguay. Hong Kong-based Sky Solar is working on 6 solar photovoltaic power plants in the South American country and $55.7 million of the funding will be provided by the Inter-American Development Bank.

Renewable Energies

The first stage of the energy transition positioned Uruguay at the forefront regarding renewable energy. Uruguay is the country with the second highest share of renewable energy electricity production (such as solar and wind) globally REN21 (2022), and leader together with Denmark, Ireland and Portugal in terms of wind energy production [1].
