A Rapid Transition To Renewable Energy Is Possible.
Uruguay is the model for how a nation can transition to renewable energy in just 10 years when everyone says it''s impossible.
Uruguay is a frontrunner in renewable energy integration in Latin America, with developing potential in the areas of battery storage and smart grid technologies. When Méndez Galain began thinking. By the end of 2025, Uruguay has established itself as one of the most consistent examples of energy transition in Latin America and as a benchmark destination for investment in renewable energy and related technologies. The country's electricity matrix is highly renewable, with over 97% of its power generated from renewable sources. In Montevideo's bustling port, trucks are beginning to run on cleaner power. A collaborative report from the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM), Lessons Learned for Rapid D...
