4 FAQs about Uruguay commercial solar power generation system

What is Uruguay's energy strategy?

In 2005, Uruguay initiated a dramatic shift in its energy strategy, moving from petroleum-based electricity generation to renewable sources. In 2024, Uruguay generated 99 percent of its electricity from renewable sources using hydropower (42 percent), wind (28 percent), and biomass (26 percent).

How much solar energy does Uruguay get?

Uruguay receives an average 1,700 KW per square meter of sunlight a year, on par with Mediterranean countries although solar represents only a fraction of the country's total electricity production. Uruguay's Investment Promotion Law offers incentives for investing in solar manufacturing, systems implementation, and solar energy utilization.

What percentage of energy is generated by biomass in Uruguay?

In 2024, biomass represented 46 percent of the total energy supply in Uruguay, while oil and its derivatives were responsible for 39 percent. Uruguay's high percentage of biomass energy generation is a result of the cellulose industry's expansion, where energy is generated from wood waste products.

How much energy does Uruguay produce in 2024?

According to preliminary 2024 data from Uruguay's Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining (MIEM), national energy production reached 17,202 GWh, marking a rebound from the downward trend observed in 2023. Of the total production, 15,175.8 GWh was used to meet domestic demand, while 2,026.2 GWh was exported.
