Renewable energy in Uruguay
Renewable energy in Uruguay is the use of renewable energy primarily for electricity generation in Uruguay.
Uruguay is notable for its use of renewable energies, which provide 94.5% of the country’s electricity and 55% of the country's total energy mix.[1]
Uruguay has already developed all its potential for large hydroelectric projects. Existing plants are Terra (152 MW), Baygorria (108 MW), Constitución (333 MW) and the bi-national Salto Grande, with a total capacity of 1,890 MW.
Wind power is experiencing a boom recently. Biomass and solar power have also been ramped up. This is further helping the country slash its carbon footprint.[1]
Heating is another spectrum where the use of renewable resources is being implemented. Firewood is mostly used for home heating.[2]
