Natural resources and competitive costs: the country has excellent combined wind and solar energy potential that would allow H2V production costs to reach between US$1.2 and US$1.4
Uruguay''s Action Plan and Experience for Power Sector
The very strong incorporation of generation plants based on wind and solar resources has allowed Uruguay to systematically rank second globally, after Denmark, in terms of the share of
Uruguay''s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For
Today, Uruguay produces nearly 99% of its electricity from renewable sources, with only a small fraction—roughly 1%–3%—coming from flexible thermal plants, such as
Electricity sector in Uruguay
OverviewElectricity supply and demandService qualityResponsibilities in the electricity sectorHistoryNotesExternal links
The electricity sector of Uruguay has traditionally been based on domestic hydropower along with thermal power plants, and reliant on imports from Argentina and Brazil at times of peak demand. Investments in renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar power over the preceding 10 years allowed the country to cover 98% of its electricity needs with renewable energy sources by 2025.
